Background
The oil on wood “Die Tragödie” (1943) by Karl Walser is in the west staircase of the Stadttheater Bern, Kornhausplatz 20. The theatre was built by the architect René von Wurstemberger and opened in 1903. Karl Walser (1877–1943) was born in Biel and died in Bern, working as a painter and stage designer. Murals made up a large part of his output between 1905 and 1943. No reliable details about this particular painting are documented yet.
