Johann Heinrich Schilbach 1798-1851

This high-quality catalogue book is a visual delight for aficionados of the German Romantic period: it presents a rich array of drawings, oil studies, and oil paintings by the German landscape painter Johann Heinrich Schilbach, who found his motifs in Rome, Olevano, the Gulf of Naples and, after his return from Italy, his Hessian home region. Consistently and masterfully, he brought the southern light and the ephemerality of the appearance of the sky to manifestation.
