Theodor Glatz (1818-1887) – Drawing and Photography

Summary/Abstract: Theodor Glatz was one of the foreign artists that would travel through Europe in the spirit of Romanticism that dominated the first half and the middle of the 19th century. His wandering brought him to Sibiu, where he settled. He was in the middle of a group of artists who, due to important contribution in portrait and landscape, revived the artistic life of Sibiu in the middle of the 19th century. Landscape was Theodor Glatz’s favourite genre. The graphics collection of the Brukenthal Museum comprises a series of drawings made between 1840/1842 during his travels around Budapest, Breslaw and along the Murany Valley. Most of these drawings have notices referring to the time and place of the execution. Thoroughly realized they also confess about the close relationship between the artist and nature. Sometimes he used romantic elements like contorted, rotten trees, huge fallen rocks, tempestuous waters, ruins, old, deserted castles
