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)».

Achenbach, Oswald
1827 Düsseldorf - 1905 ebd.
Öl/Lw. Schiffbruch. Am Ufer eines sturmgepeitschtem Meeres unter abziehenden schwarzen Wolken ein schiffbrüchiges Segelschiff, dahinter weitere mit den Wellen kämpfende Schiffe, am Strand Treibgut und einige Personen mit einem Rettungsboot. U.r. sign.
Oswald Achenbach gehört zusammen mit seinem Bruder Andreas zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern der Düsseldorfer Malerschule. Zeitgenossen nannten die beiden scherzhaft das A und O der Landschaftsmalerei. Ohne sich von den Traditionen der Akademiemalerei des 19. Jhs. völlig zu lösen, weist Oswald Achenbachs Werk mit seiner Orientierung an Turner und Courbet doch auf moderne Positionen voraus.
Auf dem vorliegenden Gemälde setzt der Maler den Zeitpunkt unmittelbar nach der Katastrophe in Szene. Das Schiff ist bereits gestrandet, und Helfer an Land unternehmen einen ersten Rettungsversuch. Der vom linken Bildrand her aufklarende Himmel kündigt das Ende des Unwetters an.
Shipwreck. Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. Unframed.
