Rudolf Hellgrewe, Landscape with Pine Trees & Lake - Antique Oil Painting

1900 - 1920

Sold by Brave Fine Art

Description

A vibrant early 20th-century oil on canvas by German painter, Rudolf Hellgrewe (1860-1926). This large and impressive piece is masterfully rendered and it’s dominated by a huge pine tree rising vertically through the composition.

It’s possible that the view is located within Märkische Schweiz, which is in Eastern Germany close to Berlin. Hellgrewe studied at the Berlin Art Academy and ventured out to paint this area often. Märkische Schweiz features a beautiful lake that remains popular to this day - particularly for walkers and holidaymakers.

The painting is signed in the lower right and housed within a later frame.
