Hans von Bartels
Hans von Bartels (December 25, 1856-October 5, 1913), German painter,
was born in Hamburg, the son of Dr N. F. F. von Bartels, a Russian
government official. He studied first under the marine painter R.
Hardorif in Hamburg, then under C. Schweitzer in Dusseldorf
and C. Oesterley in Hamburg, and finally at the Berlin School of
Art. After travelling extensively, especially in Italy, he settled
in Munich in 1885 and was appointed professor of painting in 1891.
An oil painter of great power, he is one of the leading German
water-colour painters, mainly of marines and scenes of fishing life,
painted with rude vigour and a great display of technical skill.
He excels in storm scenes and in depicting the strong, healthy fishing-folk
of the northern coasts. He became an honorary member of leading
English, German, Dutch, Belgian and Austrian art societies. Among
his principal works are:
"Sturmflut"
"Lonely Beach"
"Potato Harvest—Rügen"
"Storm—Bornholm"
"Moonlight on the Zuyder Zee"
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
