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.

Zimmermann made his beginnings in portrait painting. After training at the Müncher Akademie and years of artistic wandering, he developed into a genre painter who dealt with the life of farmers and the lower middle class in his Southern German homeland. Appointed court painter to Baden, Zimmermann is known for his warm colouring and finely narrated character scenes.
In 1850, he apparently painted this motif twice: as a large format in the present painting and as a smaller variant in oil on paper, which he dedicated and presented as a gift in honour of King Ludwig I on the occasion of the unveiling of the Bavaria in 1850 together with works by numerous artists of distinction. The paper variant is in the so-called König Ludwig Album in the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München with the inventory number KLA 69.
