August Wilhelm Leu

August Wilhelm Leu was a German landscape painter of the Romantic era. Most of his paintings are large format and depict scenes in Norway and the Alps. He studied painting under Johann Wilhelm Schirmer at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art.

August Wilhelm Loy's landscapes are characterized by a magnificent romantic conception of Alpine nature, masterful rendering, bright colours and well calculated light effects. Loy attached great importance to the particularly detailed design of the foreground.
