Couple Embraced in the Woods
Oil on canvas.

Restored.

Originally from Germany, Rudolf Henneberg moved to Paris in the
1850s, where he studied under Thomas Couture. He exhibited at the Salon, where he received a
medal in 1857. He moved to Italy in the 1860s and returned there the
following decade.
Several of his works are housed at the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
His battle scenes echo the masterpieces of his teacher.
Characterized by a strong narrative intensity, they demonstrate his skill at
depicting turmoil. His portraits, on the other hand, are imbued with a great
poetic tenderness, evident here in this couple embracing in the woods.
