Synopsis
- First new monograph in decades on Swiss genre painter Raphael Ritz (1829–94), who became famous as the “Raphael of the Alps”
- Explores Ritz’s work in the context of nineteenth-century European art
- Text in French and German
Raphael Ritz (1829–1894) is one of the most important artists to have emerged from the Swiss canton of Valais. In the 1850s, Ritz, who later became famous as the “Raphael of the Alps,” studied at the renowned Academy of Art in Düsseldorf, Germany, and perfected his technique in the genre of mountain painting, which focuses on the relationship between landscape and man. Ritz, who felt a strong connection to his roots, created landscape idylls in faraway Düsseldorf for an audience that appreciated regional peculiarities. At times with a touch of irony, he put his works at the service of a modern effort to illustrate the timeless character of everyday life.
This new monograph looks at the work of the Valais-born artist beyond national borders and frames it in both the Swiss and international artistic contexts of the time. Ritz’s correspondence with his father, Lorenz Justin Ritz, who was a painter as well, is also comprehensively examined for the first time: it constitutes an important testimony to his artistic self-discovery. Selected photographs by Swiss contemporary artists from the museum’s collection show the Valais of today and establish a connection between Ritz’s ethnographic view of his own origins and the present.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Raphael Ritz (1829-1894) zählt zu den bedeutendsten Künstlern, die der Schweizer Kanton Wallis hervorgebracht hat. In den 1850er-Jahren studierte der später auch als «Alpen-Raphael» zu Berühmtheit gelangte Ritz an der renommierten Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie und perfektionierte im Atelier seine Maltechnik im Genre der Bergmalerei, in der das Verhältnis zwischen Landschaft und Mensch im Mittelpunkt steht. Ritz, der eine starke Verbundenheit zu seiner Herkunft verspürte, entwarf im fernen Düsseldorf Landschaftsidyllen für ein Publikum, das regionale Eigenheiten schätzte. Zuweilen mit einem Hauch von Ironie stellte er seine Werke in den Dienst eines modernen Bestrebens, den zeitlosen Charakter des täglichen Lebens zu illustrieren. Diese neue Monografie betrachtet das Schaffen des Walliser Künstlers über die Landesgrenzen hinaus und bettet es sowohl in den schweizerischen als auch den internationalen künstlerischen Kontext jener Zeit ein. Erstmals berücksichtigt wird dabei auch umfassend die Korrespondenz von Ritz mit seinem Vater, dem ebenfalls als Maler tätigen Lorenz Justin Ritz, die ein bedeutendes Zeugnis seiner künstlerischen Selbstfindung darstellt. Ausgewählte Fotografien Schweizer Kunstschaffender aus der Sammlung des Kunstmuseums Wallis zeigen das heutige Wallis und holen Ritz' ethnografischen Blick auf die eigene Herkunft in die Gegenwart.
