Description: | Signed: yes Description: The 'H. Schäfer' signature on this painting is distinctive and the same can be found on a number of existing picturesque nineteenth-century townscapes and cathedral interiors. There is still uncertainty as to the identity of the artist, however. He clearly spent time in Britain as the inscriptions are often in English and the canvas bears the mark of a British maker. Suggested attributions include the British artist Henry Thomas Schafer RA who was a known figure painter and the least likely candidate. Alternatively, it may have been painted by the German Hermann Schäfer or a Frenchman named Henri Schäfer. | Subjects: | interior; buildings and gardens (Toledo Cathedral); place (Toledo) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Schäfer, Henri (French artist, 1833-1916) Æ Schafer, Hermann (German artist, active 19th century) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8841... | Go to resource |
