About the Item

Germany, 1877-1943 Carl Schmitz-Pleis, originally Karl Schmitz (21 September 1877, Hennef – 1943, Düsseldorf) was a German painter. Carl Schmitz-Pleis studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and was mentored by Johann Peter Theodor Janssen, Eduard von Gebhardt and Claus Meyer. Early in his career he signed his works with his birth name, but later adopted the name “Carl Schmitz-Pleis”, intended as a more distinctive artistic pseudonym. The addition “Pleis” was taken from the place Oberpleis, near Königswinter, where his older brother Heinrich lived with his family and where he often visited. In 1907 and 1908 he helped found “Niederrhein” (Lower Rhine), a progressive artists' association. From 1913 to 1928 he was a member of Malkasten. He took part in numerous major art exhibitions in the Alte Kunsthalle and the Kunstpalast in Germany and organized the annual exhibitions of Lower Rhine. In his later years he rarely left Düsseldorf. Karl Schmitz died unmarried, childless and apparently forgotten in 1943. He is generally associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule. His work includes landscapes, still lifes and portraits. The influence of Paul Cézanne is clearly noticeable in his work. His works can be seen in the Kunstpalast and the Stiftung Sammlung Volmer in Wuppertal.

    Located in OOSTERBEEK, NL
    Netherlands, 1817-1891 Johannes Bosboom was born in The Hague in 1817. During his lifetime, Johannes Bosboom would become one of the best-known painters of church interiors. His work has been much appreciated over time. He received his training from Romantic masters such as Bart van Hove and Wijnand Nuijen. Johannes Bosboom also took lessons at the Hague Drawing Academy. He showed his preference for the church interior at an early age. He made several journeys in his early years as an artist. In 1835 he visited Germany and in 1837 he traveled to France via Antwerp, where he worked mainly in Rouen and Paris. In 1851 he married the writer Anna Bosboom-Toussaint. He is considered a precursor of the 'Hague School'. The masterful way in which he used light in his church interiors made him one of the most important European painters in this genre. Some museums with his work: – Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar – Museum Fodor Amsterdam – Historical Museum Amsterdam – Rijksmuseum Amsterdam – Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam – Rijksmuseum Paleis het Loo...
