Catalogue Note
Salomon Brunner was the son of a butcher. Although he showed some talent for drawing, he was sent by his father as an apprentice in a silk factory in Bergamo. In 1818 he came back with his family to Winterthur where he learnt the art of oil painting with his friend David Sulzer. His favorite 'Vedute' illustrate the lakes of The Four Cantons and of Zug.
