This lot consists of hand painted dog oil on canvas board landscape oil in the style of Edmund Henry Osthaus. Edmond Henry Osthaus was born in Hildesheim, Germany in 1858. He attended the local Gymnasium and went on to study at the Royal Academy of Arts in Düsseldorf. He was a student of or influenced by a number of artists including Andreas Müller (1831-1901), Eduard von Gebhardt (1838-1925), Ernst Deger (1809-1885) and Christian Kröner/Kroener (1838-1911). These four artists provided young Osthaus with a well-rounded background in a variety of styles and subject matter. Deger, Gebhardt and Muller painted primarily religious subjects, both architectural works and on canvas. Kröner was a wildlife and landscape painter and would appear to have had the greatest influence on Osthaus. He traveled with his father Henry to Mexico with the Archduke Ferdinand Maximillian who was invited to become the Emperor of Mexico in 1864 during a period of great strife within that country. They fled to the United States when Maximillian was executed before making their way home to Germany...
