Julius von Ehren
Julius von Ehren was a German post-Impressionist painter. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
Julius von Ehren lived as a free artist in Hamburg since 1893. During study trips to the Lower Elbe region, he at first painted simple pictures of village life together with Thomas Herbst. He was particularly interested in interior lighting as well as village streets, landscapes and portraits.
Von Ehren was one of the young artists who were initially rejected by the established Hamburg art scene with their plein air paintings, often done in bright colours.
