Italy as Memory, Motif, and Image Space
Harrer’s work represents that phase of 19th-century art in which travel experience, nature observation, and painterly transformation closely intertwined. The exhibition focuses on the viewing of works with a keen eye for atmosphere, light, and composition. Particularly, the connection of longing for Italy, landscape, and personal memory lends the presentation a quiet intensity.
