• From the mature late period of the Northern German landscape painter.
• Detached from the Worpswede group of artists, he strives for artistic freedom and stylistic independence during this creative phase.
• He succeeded in capturing the atmosphere and vastness of the bog with great mastery.
• He created real impressions on the edge of a dream landscape into which observers immerse.
