Rudolf Gudden - Zigeunerstraße in Jimena

Rudolf Gudden (1863–1935) began with Dutch interiors and scenes from popular life in which his preference for lighting problems was announced. The light was always decisive for his painting. Influenced by his travels, he then painted southern motifs. Later he came to a powerful open-air painting, but without dissolving the form through the light like Impressionism. Of course, his work also included portraits. He represented an unconventional and free conception of art against the largely prevailing Academy style of his era, so he became the pioneer of modernity.
