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.

H 101,
The portrait of Hans Joachim Müller by Matthäus Merian the Younger (1621 - 1687) was painted in 1647 and was acquired by the Kunstmuseum Basel in 1890, where it can still be found today under the inventory number Inv. 435. The latter date can be assumed as the terminus post quem for the creation of this impressive copy, which is almost as large as the original, as indicated both by the framing typical of the period and the copyist's handwritten reference to the Basel Museum.
We would like to thank Mr Gabriel Dette, Assistant Curator Old Masters, Kunstmuseum Basel, for the kind remarks via
