Paintings and Watercolors — Schmuck & Edelsteine
Anton Raphael Mengs was a German painter, active in Dresden, Rome, and Madrid, who while painting in the Rococo period of the mid-18th century became one of the precursors to Neoclassical painting, which replaced Rococo as the dominant painting style in Europe.
Beneš (Benedikt Julius) Knüpfer was a Czech artist, illustrator and teacher.
Eduard von Grützner was a German painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He went down in the history of European art as a portrait painter and a brilliant master of genre.
Eduard von Grützner in most of his paintings depicted the life of monks, who usually appear to the audience in the images of merry rioters, leading a not ideal lifestyle. The public liked the original humorous style of the painter, and Grützner's work had many admirers.
Grützner was awarded the Royal Order of St. Michael and also received the title of honorary professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He also became a Knight of the Order of Civil Merit of the Bavarian Crown and received the title of nobleman, with the prefix "von" added to his last name.
Von Grützner is also known as a collector of art and antiques. For many years he collected masterpieces of the Gothic and Renaissance masters, and towards the end of his life he became interested in Far Eastern art.
Anna Peters (German: Anna Peters) was a German artist. She was best known for her floral still lifes and landscape paintings, which were highly regarded during her lifetime.
Peters' style was strongly influenced by the Romantic movement, which emphasised the emotional and spiritual aspects of nature. She was particularly adept at conveying the atmospheric effects of light and weather in her paintings. Her landscapes often feature dramatic cloud formations, misty valleys and luminous skies.
In the late 1890s Anna Peters developed a more impressionistic style of painting.
Peters' work was widely exhibited during her lifetime, both in Germany and abroad. She was a member of several renowned art associations, including the Berlin and Munich Secession. Her paintings can be found in many public and private collections, including the National Gallery in Berlin and the Bildenkünste Museum in Leipzig. Today, Anna Peters is regarded as one of the leading landscape painters of her generation in Germany.
