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.

Trajan is considered to be the first Roman emperor whose family was not settled in the capital of the empire but in the Spanish province. He was awarded the honorary title of «optimus princeps» (best emperor), a distinction that no emperor before or after him ever received. And he is considered Dalí's favourite emperor. This, by the way, «[...] not only because he was Spanish, [...] but because the Roman Empire was the most widespread in his time, [...] art and literature flourished and he rejected the persecution of Christians. Dalí felt spiritually connected to him.» from: Sammlerkreis für Kunst, Verband deutscher Ärzte, 28.07.1987
The sculpture of pure gold is in the tradition of medieval golden Madonna representations or Benvenuto Cellini's famous Saliera. The noble 18-karat precious metal, which Dalí chose as the casting material for his small sculpture, particularly captivates the viewer.
