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.

Gottesmutter Pokrov und der Sänger Romanos
Icon of the Mother of God Pokrov and Romanos the Melodist. Central Russia late 18th C. Tempera on panel. Verso two inserted transverse cleats. Inscribed.
The icon has been painted on an older paint lyer, probably from the 17th century.
The miracle of the Mother of God Pokrov happened as Saint Andrew the Fool for Christ's Sake and his disciple Epiphanius saw Maria spreading her veil over the congregation of the Church of the Blachernae in Constantinople and protecting them. Romanos is the most famous hymnographers of the Eastern Orthodox Church. His story is put together with the Mother of God Pokrov because both their feasts are celebrated on October 1st.

H. 54, B. 44 cm.
Die vorliegende Ikone wurde auf einer älteren Malschicht, wohl aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, gemalt.
Das Wunder der Gottesmutter Pokrov ereignete sich, als der Hl. Narr Andreas mit seinem Schüler Epiphanias in der Blachernenkirche zu Konstantinopel Maria mehrfach einen Schleier über die Stadt breiten sah, die sie so unter ihren Schutz stellte. Der Sänger Romanos ist der bedeutendste Hymnendichter der Ostkirche. Seine Geschichte wird mit der Gottesmutter Pokrov zusammen dargestellt, weil beider Fest am 1. Oktober begangen wird.
