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.

The present work can be assigned to the late work of the veduta painter Elias P. van Bommel on account of its loose brushstrokes and rather muted colours. Towards the end of his life he worked mainly in Vienna and was inspired by his sketchbooks, which he had filled throughout his life with a variety of building motifs on his wanderings through the Netherlands, to produce quite imaginative capricci. The «Winteransicht auf die Stadt Dordrecht (winter view of the city of Dordrecht)» does show elements reminiscent of the silhouette of the South Holland harbour metropolis, first and foremost the tower of the Grote Kerk, but the painter allowed himself too much mimetic freedom with regard to the exact topography and architecture to make an exact physical assignment of the winter scene.
