The Moment of Life: Night in a Garden in Rome

Night in a Garden in Rome

1922, watercolour with distemper, scraped, 345 × 455 mm

(nach Joseph von Eichendorff, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts)

With this print for Eichendorff’s “Of the Life of a Good-For-Nothing” Hegenbarth stands at the beginning of his work as an illustrator. The text is (still) a must, the illustration opulent from the artistic point of view, full of colourful strength and visual poetry.
