SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
A landscape painter established in Berlin, Cölestin Brügner exhibited several works there at the Academy between 1856 and 1866, according to a sale notice. The same source states that he focused in particular on landscapes of northern Europe and winter scenes.
Among the works described is a winter landscape with wood gatherers, painted in oil on canvas and signed, with a date transcribed as “(19)59”. The subjects recorded also include fishing boats in the evening light and a composition bringing together a church tower, gabled houses, a narrow river and a wooded lake. These descriptions outline a landscape repertoire ranging from winter scenes to lake and river views, without allowing the painterly treatment to be specified further.
This profile brings together identity references for Cölestin Brügner and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
