Category:Biedermeier art on stamps
The art of the Biedermeier is originally the style of the artworks created in the time between the Congress of Vienna 1815 and the German revolutions of 1848/1849 in the countries of the then "German Confederation", as well as in the Alpine regions of Europe or expressed by European emigrants at other continents. However, as term of an era of the culture history is the term "Biedermeier" not clairly definied and is often applied to many works until in the 20th century (in all cultural areas). It is clairly the culture of the bourgeoisie of the 19th century, by what this art is combined often with terms in the kind of "homely", "unpolitical", and "conservative". This art is characterized mainly by light/shadows combinations, mostly with sun-rays penetrating the atmosphere, often at evening and morning moods. (Background of this was the year 1816 which is defuncted in the annals of the history worldwide as "the year without summer" what goes back to an eruption of the volcano "Tambora" in the Pacific Ocean in 1815.) Mostly, the artworks of the Biedermeier depicted realistic reflections of the nature in idealized "realities", but with a complete lacking of historical or religious topics (so-called "Pseudo-Realism").
The term "Biedermeier" goes back on the fictive figure of the "Gottlieb Biedermeier" of the author Ludwig Eichrodt and the physician Adolf Kußmaul. Heyday of the "Biedermeier" was in the landscape and portrait-painting, however beside of that also in the glass- and porcelain-painting. Paragons for the "Biedermeier" are mostly works of the Dutch genre-painting of the 17th centuy.
