About the Item

Winter Landscape oil/board 16.75 x 12.75 unframed image, 17.63 x 13.38 framed Here is a beautiful winter snow scene oil painting on board by Walter Koeniger signed lower right. The painting is in good condition but needs a good cleaning and new frame. Current frame has open corners as seen in pics. Would look awesome in a new frame after cleaning. Bio Walter Koeniger- 1881-1943 (Germany/American) Known as “the Painter of Snow,” Walter Koeniger was the son of an architect, born in Germany in 1881. From architecture, Walter turned to painting, while still in Germany. He studied under Eugene Gustav Dücker and Eduard Karl Franz Gebhardt at the Düsseldorf Academy. Koeniger immigrated to the United States around 1910 and settled in Woodstock, New York in 1912, where he abandoned his earlier style of photographic realism in favor of a more painterly, expressive technique. He concentrated on capturing the fleeting moods of nature during a period when the winter scene genre was rapidly rising in popularity. Koeniger focused on views of the Catskill Mountains and wooded areas around Woodstock and Saugerties. His activities at Woodstock (where he died in 1943) are not well known; apparently he was not involved with the artists’ colony there. He painted in broad, large strokes, rendering brilliant sunlight and glowing color harmonies, soft gradations on color in the sky, streams and forests. The artist adapted the blue and purple shadows of the impressionist aesthetic. A plein-air painter, even in winter, Koeniger would reportedly delay the completion of a painting until the setting sun would add the proper tint of orange to the scene. One historian said Koeniger had a “passion” for “frozen, snow-covered scenes of winter.” His work was popular and was sometimes used on the covers of Literary Digest. Later in his career, Koeniger maintained studios in both Woodstock and New York City.

I'm currently offering select paintings from my collection like this one. In order to collect new paintings, I must sell off some of my current collection. For art that I have painted, it is derived in a variety of ways. I'm a responder. I respond to light, color, design, etc. and I love painting both outdoors on location and in the studio under a controlled environment. I try to convey an idea, mood or just simply a beautiful setting. I'm inspired by a wide variety of subject matter and styles of painting and do not adhere to just one way.My paintings have won numerous awards over the years and have been collected both nationally and internationally. They can be found in three museum collections, the White House Collection and many private collections.
