Karl Hermann Lungkwitz (Texas / Germany, 1813-1891), Texas landscape, oil on paper

sight: 11 x 16 in., frame: 22 x 28 in.

Provenance: A Fredericksburg, Texas collection

Among the most important of the early Texas artists, Karl Hermann Lungkwitz was classically trained in some of the finest art schools in Germany before emigrating with his family to America in 1850, settling in the Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg. He then began to explore and paint these new lands around him, depicting the rural Texan landscape in the Romantic style he had acquired in the European academies. Lungkwitz would hike in the areas around the Pedernales River and Enchanted Rock, carrying his easel and canvases to capture these landmarks in person. His highly skillful technique in painting (and later, photography) has given his work a lasting legacy as the first serious pictorial record of the Texas Hill Country region.
