About the Work

An atmospheric view of the Hünenberg castle ruin in Canton Zug – a true local gem for collectors with a Zug connection. The engraver C. Huber stages the ruin fully in the spirit of Swiss Romanticism: an approaching thunderstorm, gnarled trees and a solitary wanderer give the sheet a moody depth. The imprint of publisher Chr. Krüsi in Basel and the clear place caption make the work easy to attribute and date.

Provenance

This view of the castle ruin of Hünenberg is particularly appealing: it was professionally framed by Hürlimann Rahmen on Schmidgasse in Zug, which underlines the local connection and the careful keeping of the sheet. The publisher Chr. Krüsi in Basel and the signature 'C. Huber sc:' are clearly legible: an authentic piece of Zug's pictorial history, from a private collection in Zug.
