Louis Kolitz

Louis Kolitz was a German painter of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is known as a painter who specialized in depicting historical events, battles, as well as portraits and landscapes.

Kolitz worked primarily in the portrait genre, but he also created monumental works, including murals for official buildings. His portraits and paintings were characterized by realism, detail and mastery of tone, which brought him popularity. Today, his work is recognized as more significant than just the landscape studies and Impressionist paintings of the 1870s. Although critics estimate that Kolitz may have been a pioneer and founder of German Impressionism, he only gained greater fame after his posthumous exhibition in Munich in 1920.
