M. Thiel (1945–2008), born in Amsterdam, spent most of his life as a freelance artist in Kassel. His work repeatedly explored nature, abstraction, and the cycle of life and death. His travels took him to places like Ireland, where the rugged, almost surreal karst landscape of the Burren region (County Clare) profoundly fascinated him and inspired expressive graphic cycles and etchings.
The offered painting is one of the first from this period; it shows an Irish pillar stone against a stony landscape, behind it the St. Andrew's cross, which often appears in his later works, here as a truncated X. The "sparse mysticism" is further intensified by the restriction to blue and brown-orange.
Note 1 : The Museum of Sepulchral Culture in Kassel will present a special exhibition entitled “Lost Worlds. Becoming and Passing Away in the Ink Drawings of Maarten Thiel” from November 25, 2026.
Note 2 : The (significantly older) wooden frame shows damage on the upper right side.
