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.

Johann Gabriel Roth came to prominence in the first half of the 18th century as the creator of frescoes and altarpieces in southwest Germany, for example in the castles of Meßkirch and Kißlegg as well as in Weisenau monastery. Originally signed portraits from his hand can be considered exceptionally rare and significant discoveries. The portrayed couple is probably part of the bourgeoisie.
«Thus the man's waistcoat trimmed in gold and red is unusual in aristocratic circles at that time. The lady's dress appears completely outside the convention of aristocratic fashions and also refers more to a very upper-middle-class milieu: the cuts and elaboration of the richly embroidered waistcoat and the bonnet trimmed with lace and gold embroidery clearly show an influence from the formal range of bourgeois costumes, which was not usually worn by the nobility at that time.» The present works represent «an excellent and important witness of southern German portrait culture, especially in the Lake Constance area.» from: Patrick Heinstein, painting expertise, Neuchâtel, 19.08.2020.

Johann Gabriel Roth trat in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts als Schöpfer von Fresken und Altargemälden in Südwestdeutschland, beispielsweise in den Schlössern Meßkirch und Kißlegg sowie im Kloster Weisenau, hervor. Original signierte Porträts aus seiner Hand hingegen können als außergewöhnlich seltene und bedeutende Entdeckungen gelten. Bei dem dargestellten Paar handelt es sich um sehr wohlhabende Eheleute, die vermutlich weniger adliger als vielmehr bürgerlicher Herkunft waren.
«So ist der in Gold und Rot gearbeitete Westenbesatz des Mannes in Adelskreisen zu jener Zeit unüblich. Die Kleidung der Dame erscheint vollends ausserhalb der Konvention adeliger Moden und verweist ebenfalls eher auf ein sehr gehobenes bürgerliches Milieu: Schnitte und Ausarbeitung der reich bestickten Weste und die mit Spitzen und Goldstickerei besetzte Haube belegen eindeutig einen Einfluss aus dem Formenkreis bürgerlicher Tracht, wie sie vom Adel seinerzeit für gewöhnlich nicht getragen wurde.» Die vorliegenden Werke stellen «ein exzellentes und wichtiges Zeugnis süddeutscher Porträtkultur insbesondere des Bodenseeraums dar.» aus: Patrick Heinstein, Gemäldeexpertise, Neuchâtel, 19.08.2020.
