Description: | Signed: yes Description: H. Schafer appears to have been a popular artist in Britain. He painted views from around Europe and would have appealed to the growing nineteenth-century tourist market. This Rhineland landscape with castle is typical of the picturesque and historic sites he chose to paint. While many works bear Schafer's distinctive signature, however, there is confusion regarding his true identity and nationality. He is thought to be German by some, owing to the number of German locations featured in his paintings. Nontheless, it is clear he travelled extensively. His works have also been attributed to the Frenchman Henri Schäfer, among others. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Schafer, Hermann (German artist, active 19th century) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8503... | Go to resource |
