Professor Hermann Dischler
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.

Koekkoek, Barend Cornelis Umkreis
1803 Middelburg - 1862 Kleve.
Circle of Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. Summer landscape by sunset. Oil on panel. Indistinctly inscribed or monogrammed lower left «B.v. (?)». Verso on the frame handwritten inscribed «Dieses Gemälde ist unten links bez. B.C.K.».
This small painting has probably been created by a pupil of Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. The master's influence is clearly visible, particularly the view into the opening landscape reminds a lot of similar compositions by the hand of Koekkoek. The execution is less detailed, though the atmosphere is captured and depicted very skilfully.
Assessment: We would like to thank Mr Guido de Werd, artistic director, Stiftung B.C. Koekkoek-Haus, Kleve, for the scientific advice via
1803 Middelburg - 1862 Kleve.
Sommerliche Landschaft im Abendrot. Öl auf Holz. U.l. unleserlich bez. oder monogr. «B.v. (?)». Verso auf dem Rahmen handschriftlich bez. «Dieses Gemälde ist unten links bez. B.C.K.».
Dieses kleine Gemälde entstammt wahrscheinlich der Hand eines Schülers von Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. Der Einfluss des Meisters ist klar erkennbar, besonders der Ausblick in die sich öffnende Landschaft links im Bild erinnert stark an ähnliche Kompositionen Koekkoeks. Die Ausführung ist weniger detailliert, die Abendstimmung jedoch sehr schön und überzeugend eingefangen und wiedergegeben.
Beurteilung: Wir danken Herrn Guido de Werd, Künstlerischer Leiter, Stiftung B.C. Koekkoek-Haus, Kleve, für die wissenschaftliche Beratung via
