Albert Hertel

In the Gardens of Casel Gandolfo

Oil on canvas, laid down on card.. 62 x 59 cm..

Albert Hertel was one of the most famous Berlin landscape artists of his era. After studying in Berlin and under Oswald Achenbach in Düsseldorf, he began teaching at the Berlin Academy in 1875. Achenbach's atmospheric Italian landscapes and contemporary figural staffage exerted an important and lasting influence on Hertel's oeuvre, and this is evident in the present work.
