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.

Jesus healing the centurion's servant.
Oil on canvas, relined. Unsigned. Verso on a label typographically inscribed with the work's data and the price.
H 43,
The painting, mounted in a florid Rococo style frame, reproduces the episode of the centurion of Capernaum, a town on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. The centre of the painting depicts the bearded, aged man kneeling in a long cloak, imploring the Son of God to heal his sick servant. The dramatic chiaroscuro, the amazingly lifelike rendering of the materials and the orientalising headdress of the centurion are characteristic style features of the Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 - 1669), the paradigm of many Baroque painters of Central Europe in the late 17th and 18th centuries.
Provenance: Gertrud von Lukasiewiecz, Bad Säckingen; by succession transferred to private property Hexental.
