Hermann Urban Art

1866-1948

Hermann Urban, even if he was born in America, was deeply related to Germany, from which his family came from. He moved, in fact, to Münich to study at the Academy of Fine Arts following the courses of Johann Caspar Herteich and Willhelm von Diez and he lived until his death in Bad Aibling. The Italian trip was fundamental for the development of his career and art, especially the Florentine experience, where he met Arnold Böckling. His works of art can be found in lots of important museums, mostly in Germany and Adolf Hitler was a careful collector of his paintings. The subjects preferred by Urban were elegiac landscapes and ruins, characterized by a technique composed of pasty brush strokes, with Impressionist echoes, and a rich and pure palette.
