Late 19th-Century German School

Isar Meadows, Munich

This late 19th-century impressionistic German oil painting depicts an autumnal day on the banks of the Isar River in Munich, Germany.

Under a spirited cloud-filled sky, the river winds through rugged scenery. The water captured in the foreground with a haze of tints and tones. Beyond, a splash of white catches the eye, while a dark copse on the left guides us to a distant horizon.

The work is signed ‘Hammerschmidt’ but it’s tricky to attribute to any well-known hand. It’s quite early for this style and they almost certainly trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.

Signed/dated lower right and held within a later frame.
