Rudolf J. Weiss was born in Basel, Switzerland, but at an early age moved and lived in Biel/Bienne, where the talented artist worked as theater set designer mainly at the municipal theater of Biel/Bienne, but also took part in theatrical productions further afield. In between he painted interesting landscapes, portraits, historical scenes and which he would sell successfully to collectors, as well as institutions.
Rudolf J. Weiss traveled throughout Europe and famously visited the Middle East, which lead to his highly prized realist orientalist paintings, which today can sell for up to 6 digits (!).
The cave depicted is a local beauty spot outside of Biel/Bienne, which was formed over the millennia by a stream called the Twannbach cutting through the limestone of the last fold of the Jura hills. Rudolf J. Weiss realized the scene in a dreamy impressionist style, which perfectly captures the magical atmosphere of that mystical spot.

- Alfons Alphons Müller (1898-1955) Expressive Oil Painting Switzerland c. 1950By Alphons MüllerLocated in Meinisberg, CHAlphons (Alfons) Müller (Swiss, * 24.8.1898 Mitlödi, † 8.6.1955 Biel) ' Im Häfeli ' The small harbor at the Lake of Biel / Bienne in Switzerland • Oil on artist board, ca. 47 x 38 cm • Frame, ca. 54 x 45 cm • Signed bottom right Alphons Müller lived and worked in the watch industries in Biel/Bienne in Switzerland up to about 1933. He then decided to become a full-time artist and painted landscapes, still lifes, portraits/nudes in various styles up to his early death in 1955. Alphons Müller was the proverbial hardworking bohemian artist. He lived in a small cold room above a pup and often struggled to make ends meet. On one hand he would paint commercial views of local beauty spots - often of the Lake of Bienne. These paintings were generally executed using very thin paint layers (to make the expensive material last longer ...) in a very bright impressionist style. On the other hand, he would create intelligent, generous and deep reaching images - especially during the war. In the late thirties he meets his two loyal patrons, the baker Werner Gass and the pharmacist...Category
