This morning, I’ve decided to bring you further selections from the Austrian humour/men’s magazine, Die Muskete. The artist this time around is Alexander Rothaug (1870 – 1846), who studied painting at the Vienna Academy of Arts from 1885 to 1892, pursued further studies in Munich, where he produced illustrations for the German magazine, Fliegenden Blätter, and then moved back to Vienna, where he worked as a freelance artist from 1897, becoming a member of the Association of the Visual Artists Vienna in 1911; the paintings, which I have extracted from the online archive of Die Muskete hosted by the Austrian National Library and have processed for display here at RCN, are At the Source, Dreaming, and The Herdsman:
