About The Opening Dance, 1863 Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller Realism Painting
The painting portrays a young girl who has a lovely time drinking beer and dancing. The painting is of a time where the people are celebrating an occasion at the girl's place. Ferdinand captures the best emotions of people's happiness in a beautiful painting. Whether it was the conquest of the landscape and thus the convincing rendering of closeness or distance, the accurate characterization of the human face, the detailed and refined description of textures, or the depiction of rural everyday life: his works – brilliant, explanatory, moralizing, and socially critical – influenced a whole generation of artists. Being an advocate of natural observation and plein air painting, as well as a critic of academic painting, Waldmüller was far ahead of his time.
