Oliver Schnyder, probably the most promising Swiss pianist of his generation, has recorded the soundtrack to a film by Heinz Bütler about the Swiss painter Albert Anker. A selection of the most beautiful and popular “Lyrical Pieces” by Edgard Grieg is musically set to the multi-layered portrait of the Swiss artist. The film “Malstunden bei Raffael” (Painting Lessons with Raphael) opens up the work, thinking and life of the great Swiss painter for the first time in a cinematic way far beyond the well-known and often clichéd: In “Albert Anker. Painting Lessons with Raphael”, a “room of wonders” is the starting point of the journey through time to Albert Anker (1831-1910). For the studio in the painter’s farmhouse in the Seeland village of Ins is one of the very few artists’ studios of the 19th century that has been preserved in its original state – a spectacular time capsule “curated” by Anker himself with pictures, photos, books, documents, bizarre items, letters and objects of painterly and everyday use.Synopsis: For the first time, a film explores the work, thinking and life of the great Swiss painter far beyond the well-known and often clichéd: “Albert Anker. Painting Lessons with Raphael” by the renowned director Heinz Bütler. The starting point of the journey through time to Albert Anker (1831-1910) is a room of wonders. For the studio in the painter’s farmhouse in the Seeland village of Ins is one of the very few artists’ studios of the 19th century that has been preserved in its original state – a spectacular time capsule “curated” by Anker himself with pictures, photos, books, documents, bizarre items, letters and objects of painterly and everyday use.

And if there was anyone who could open up Anker’s world for this film in a personal, touching, humorous and knowledgeable way, it is the musician and author Endo Anaconda (1955-2022). It almost seems as if we are listening to Albert Anker himself in the film through Endo’s voice, as he talks about his life as an artist. Pianist Oliver Schnyder plays the film’s soundtrack on the concert grand piano, but does not shy away from the out-of-tune family piano in the Anker home. Art historian Nina Zimmer gets to the bottom of Anker’s art and wants to find out: Where is Anker really good?

And finally, this moving and multi-layered film has brought us closer to an Albert Anker who belongs not only in the museum, but also in our hearts.
