SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Ernst Stöhr was an Austrian painter whose landscapes and figures belong to Viennese Symbolism. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts and the Vienna Academy before becoming a founding member of the Secession in 1897. He contributed to its journal Ver Sacrum and helped with the catalogue and decoration of the Beethoven exhibition in 1902. A studio established at Lake Bohinj in 1900 supported his sustained engagement with landscape.
Couple by the Lake, dated 1897/1903 and held by the Leopold Museum, gives the relationship between figures and their surroundings a melancholic character. The museum identifies fragmented brushwork and blue and violet tones as vehicles for this mood. Stöhr used the visible world to express emotional experience, making landscape a setting for both human encounters and inward reflection.
