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.

The figure of the reclining Christ could have been part of a chapel of the Holy Sepulchre with an extensive sculptural decoration, as it was diffused in the 14th and 15th century under the influence of mysticism. These groups of figures depicting the lamenting followers of Christ gathered around his body laid out in the middle were placed in small architectures in church interiors or on churchyards.

Die Figur des liegenden Christus könnte Teil einer Heilig-Grab-Kapelle mit einer umfangreichen skulpturalen Ausstattung gewesen sein, wie sie im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert unter dem Einfluss der Mystik verbreitet war. Dabei handelt es sich um Figurengruppen, die die klagenden Anhänger Christi um seinen in der Mitte aufgebahrten Leichnam versammelt darstellen und in eigenen Kleinarchitekturen in Kircheninnenräumen oder Friedhöfen untergebracht wurden.
Provenienz: laut Angabe des Einlieferers erworben 1964 im Kunsthandel; seitdem Privatsammlung Dreisamtal.
