Carl Millner
Born Mindelheim, Germany, 1825-1895

Mountain Scene in the Tyrol, 1873

Oil on canvas
Presented by Mrs William Scott, 1941
Museum Number 2-1941

Following the example of the Munich School of painters in the late 18th century, Millner left the studio and went out into the countryside to paint this spectacular mountain landscape. The naturalistic atmosphere is suggested by the heavy shadows of the storm clouds as they appear over the trees.
