Painting of the 19th and 20th century — Alte Kunst & Antiquitäten
Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, known as the Kasseler Tischbein, was one of the most respected European painters in the 18th century and an important member of the Tischbein family of German painters, which spanned three generations.
His work consisted primarily of portraits of the nobility, mythological scenes, and historical paintings. For his mythology paintings his models were mostly members of the upper nobility.
Salomon Corrodi was an Italian-Swiss watercolor painter.
At the age of twenty-two, Corrodi moved from Zurich to Italy, his parents' homeland, and took up the study of watercolor landscape painting in Rome with Jacob Suter (1805-1874). He traveled and painted landscapes extensively, and by the mid-19th century had become a recognized master of watercolor landscape painting as well as a teacher.
Salomon Corrodi lived a long and productive life, laboring until his death and producing many exquisite landscapes of coastal and mountain vistas as well as vedutas. Two of his sons, Herman and Arnold, also became artists.
