Philipp Röth

View of St. Wolfgang

Watercolour. 21.2 x 33 cm.
Signed and dated lower left: Ph. Röth 67.

Philipp Röth belonged to the Munich school of landscape painting of the late 19th century. He was awarded the honorary title "Royal Professor at the Munich Academy of Art" by Prince Regent Leopold in 1903. He frequently travelled in the region around Munich throughout the 1860s in search of motifs for his paintings. As the present watercolour shows, he also travelled to the Salzkammergut to Lake Wolfgang, where he sketched the present work from a slightly elevated viewpoint.
