Hermann Urban

Hermann Urban was an American-born German artist best known for his elegiac paintings of ruins. He studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich. Urban dealt with landscape painting in Neubeuern. In 1886, Urban opened his first studio in Munich's Amalienstrasse. Urban spent the period from 1892 to 1894 in Italy, and in 1894 he became a student of Arnold Böcklin in Florence. In 1897 Urban became a member of the Luitpold Group. In 1918 he was elected chairman of the artists' council in Munich. From 1939 to 1944, Urban was represented at all the Great German Art Exhibitions in Munich with a total of 23 paintings that appealed to the tastes of leading Nazis. His scenes are often situated in picturesque landscapes, rendered in a unique style that hybridizes Realism and Impressionism.
