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.

Spitzweg's nude drawings initially follow the academic tradition. Later, «the line of the drawing [...] becomes long and straight, a certain sharpness emerges. The hatchings are related to copperplate engravings; they create acute angles to the outlines, as the slant of the line is increased in relation to the outline. The drawing gradually changes into a subjective view and personal line language.» from: Siegfried Wichmann, Spitzweg, Die frühesten Spitzwegbilder, Reihe für vergleichende und angewandte Kunstgeschichte (R.f.v.u.a.K.), without number, Lipp Verlag Munich n.d., p. 5.
«Several nude drawings are known from Spitzweg's œuvre, some of them even bear the name of the person depicted. Most of these nude drawings were done between 1831 and 1835.» (Detlef Rosenberger, Oberostendorf, 01.06.2020).
