Albert Anker is considered one of the most prominent representatives of realistic genre painting in Switzerland.
Touching everyday scenes, preferably with children, are his passion and bring him fame, recognition and numerous commissions.
His two years of theological studies can be seen as the foundation for his intensive dedication to social issues, as can his involvement with the teachings of the Swiss Jean-Jaques Rousseau and Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi.
After breaking off his studies, Anker gave in to his passion and went to Paris to study art. Especially the works Nicolas Poussins impressed the painter. Soon he regularly exhibited his own works in the Paris Salon, which was tantamount to an award and was a guarantee of success for every artist of his time.
The children in Anker's works are immersed in their activities, pursuing them without haste, but vividly and happily.
The picture "The grandfather tells a story" from 1884 shows an idyllic village scene that reveals the harmonious coexistence of the inhabitants in everyday life. The four children hang spellbound on the lips of the grandfather, who obviously has an exciting story to tell. A peaceful moment, captured by the painter and enviously captured by the viewer. How one would love to sit in this harmonious circle.
At a ripe old age Anker suffered a stroke that led to paralysis of the right hand. Nevertheless, he continued to paint, albeit in a reduced technique, for almost ten years until his death.
