Professor Hermann Dischler

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.

After the first large-format edition of the Bible (Neue Künstliche Figuren, Basel, Guarin, 1576), the Schaffhausen artist Tobias Stimmer (1539 - 1584) produced a pictorial Bible in small format with the publisher Thomas Guarin in 1578. This Vulgate is characterised by the artistic understanding of the late Renaissance and shows the full talent of the Upper Rhine artist.
