On the Dalmatian Coast near Ragusa by Emil Jakob Schindler c.1888
Painted in 1888 along the Dalmatian Coast near what we now call Dubrovnik, this landscape shows the Adriatic exactly as it is: rocky, sun-washed, and quietly confident. This isn’t a fantasy coastline. It’s a real place, observed by someone who actually stood there long enough to understand it. At the time, this region was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is why Austrian artists were roaming around painting it like it was their backyard vacation spot.

Emil Jakob Schindler was an Austrian painter known for mood-driven landscapes that focus on light, atmosphere, and time of day rather than drama or detail. He painted outdoors obsessively and cared more about how a place felt than how impressive it looked. Fun footnote: he also taught a young Gustav Klimt, before Klimt went full gold-leaf chaos.

This mini oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrostone plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame, it offers all the beauty of an heirloom – without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).

Sized in our mini format, this piece makes a quiet statement on a shelf, gallery wall, or anywhere that needs a little mood and a lot of character. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.
