Fritz Bamberger

Spanish Mountain Landscape

Oil on paper, mounted on hardboard. 27 x 35 cm.
Signed and dated lower left: F. Bamberger/1854.

Like many German artists of the 19th century, Fritz Bamberger felt drawn to the landscapes of Southern Europe. His artistic career was strongly influenced by his sojourns throughout Spain and Italy. He first travelled to the Iberian Peninsula in the late 1840s, but the present work is thought to have been made during a later trip in 1857.
