Hermann Urban Paintings

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.

Impressionist Mediterranean Harbor Painting Port de la Selva Costa Brava Fishing Boats Oil Canvas Artist: Lazarotti Title: Port de la Selva Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm (23.6 × 28.7 in) Signature: Signed lower right Inscription: Titled on reverse Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with original impasto visible Origin: Spain Atmospheric Mediterranean harbor scene depicting Port de la Selva on the Costa Brava, one of the most picturesque fishing villages in northeastern Spain near Cap de Creus. The composition presents a lively shoreline animated by traditional fishing boats resting along the beach and floating gently across reflective harbor waters. Whitewashed architecture rises against the mountainous backdrop, creating a luminous contrast with the turquoise sea and expansive sky. Executed with confident impressionist brushwork, the painting captures shifting reflections and coastal light through layered strokes of blue, rose, ochre and soft green tonal transitions. The surface retains visible impasto that enhances depth and movement across the water. Mediterranean harbor paintings of this type are especially sought after for their decorative clarity, collector accessibility and strong interior presence, particularly within coastal and modern European painting collections. The inscription “Port de la Selva” on the reverse confirms the exact Catalan location represented. This work belongs to the Mediterranean impressionist...
