Professor Hermann Dischler
25th September 1866 – 20th March 1935
Hermann Dischler was born on the 25th of September in 1866 in Freiburg i.Br. He received his artistic training in the art school in Karlsruhe, he was student of Gustav Schönleber. Thereafter he was engaged as a painter in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald area.
1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

View of Gdansk. 1575. Engraving, hand-coloured with watercolour, on copper plate printing paper. Unsigned.
This print originates from the beginning of the great age of historical city views at the turn of the 16th to the 17th Century. It has been published in the multi-volume collection of realistically portrayed city views «Civitates Orbis Terrarum», edited by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1618, and is one of the earliest known views of Gdansk. Another example, printed from the same plate and with slightly different colouring, has been shown in the exhibition «Unbekannte Schätze - Grafik und Gemälde aus der Sammlung des Westpreußischen Landesmuseums» in Münster in 2011.
