Wilhelm Brücke
Johann Wilhelm Brücke was a German landscape and architectural painter. He studied painting at the Berlin Academy of Arts.
Johann Wilhelm Brücke spent 5 years in Italy with the support of his teacher Johann Erdmann Hummel and a small grant, creating landscapes and vedotes of Roman architecture. The artist found his own style early on and his work is easily recognisable by his use of reddish sunset colours. However, some of his later paintings are reminiscent of Edward Gertner's almost photographically realistic works.
