Mephisto Waltz II, after Liszt, 2024, oil on board, 22 x 30 cm

$1,200.00

This oil landscape painting captures the quieter section of Franz Liszt’s composition Mephisto Waltz, suggesting the gradual building of intimacy. Soft greys and dusky pinks drift across the sky, while the darkened treeline and subtle glow along the horizon hint at a tender yet expectant stillness, poised before the music swells once more. A very long composition, Mephisto Waltz is filled with energy and movement, evoking the flame and fury of a dance with the devil.

  • Medium: Oil paint on plywood, framed in Italian timber, ready to hang

  • Musical Composition that prompted the Painting: Mephisto Waltz by Franz Liszt

  • Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Painting, Alla Prima Landscape

  • Style: While this landscape painting adopts a realistic style, it is deeply infused with spiritual and emotive meaning, aligning it with the Romantic tradition of landscape art. Created using the alla prima technique — painting directly in a single sitting — it was completed wet-on-wet to preserve the spontaneity and immediacy of each brushstroke. The work was painted in response to Mephisto Waltz by Franz Liszt, allowing the music to guide the emotional tone and compositional rhythm of the piece.

  • Subject: Vibrant orange light in a cloudy dusk sky over darkened hills

  • Colour Scheme: Magenta, Cadmium Yellow and Orange, Vermillion, Violet, burnt , White and Ultramarine and Indigo Blue

  • Features: This oil painting depicts a soft, evening sky with dusky pinks and muted greys drifting across layered clouds. A dark treeline silhouettes the horizon, above which a warm orange glow hints at the fading sunset.
