While he typically favored mythological and allegorical subjects, Stuck began making landscape paintings when he visited the artist colony of Osternberg in the early 1890s. He made this dense, dark etching after a painting of the same title. The stillness of the twilit scene is interrupted by only the concentric ripples on the glistening surface of the water, barely upsetting the reflection of the row of trees along the edge of the pond. The print was later published in the Munich-based art journal Jugend, the namesake of the German iteration of Art Nouveau. A copy of this etching is at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. 

Franz von Stuck  (1863; Tettenweis, Germany-1928; Munich, Germany) German artist of exceptional skills as a painter, was also sculptor, engraver, photographer, and draughtsman. Considered “ the last of the great draughtsmen before the dissolution of form imposed by the avant-garde movements of the 20th century ”, he was a member-founder of the Munich Secession in 1893, and together with other artists he was a  forerunner of the Art Nouveau  experience, called  Jugendstil  in Germany. Thanks to his style of  formal perfection, sensuality and decadent sensitivity , he seduced the art world of half Europe. Von Stuck was particularly successful in Italy, to such an extent that he was granted a solo show at the Venice Biennial of 1909.His figurative repertory derived from  classical art  – centaurs, fauns, nymphs drawn from antique mythology in the wake of a tradition inaugurated by  Arnold Böcklin  – and was mediated through a fin-de-siècle sensibility towards eroticism and artfulness.
