Robert Zünd
Robert Zünd (1827–1909) was a Swiss painter known for his highly detailed and idealized landscapes, which are often associated with the Realist movement in Switzerland. Born in Lucerne, Zünd studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Geneva and became one of the foremost landscape painters of his time. His works are characterized by their precision, particularly in the depiction of nature, light, and atmosphere, reflecting the Swiss countryside with clarity and an almost photographic realism.
Zünd's works, influenced by the classical landscape tradition, combine romantic idealism with a meticulous attention to detail. His paintings, often portraying serene pastoral scenes, evoke a sense of harmony between humans and nature. Today, his works are housed in major Swiss collections, including the Kunstmuseum Luzern and the Kunsthaus Zürich.
