Paul WEIMANN
1867 Wroclaw - 1945 Jelenia Gora
Silesian painter. He came from a respectable Wroclaw family. Having graduated from the local gymnasium, he took up art studies at the School of Art (Königliche Kunst- und Kunstgewerbeschule) where he came under the tutelage of Carl Ernst Morgenstern. Already during his studies he made study trips to Silesia and the Bavarian Alps to create landscape paintings. Weimann completed his artistic education at the Berlin Academy of Art. The artist got married and settled in Świerzawa, where his wife was from. Thus began in the painter's life a period of living on the sidelines, but also of intensive work on landscape paintings depicting the Karkonosze foothills. People came for them from the area, but also from big cities - such as Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg. The period of "seclusion came to an end with the children that the artist and his wife wanted to educate. At that time, they moved to Jelenia Gora and lived in a large house with a view of the Giant Mountains. It was these mountains that became the primary subject of Paul Weimann's work. The artist perfected his ability to convey the atmosphere of the Karkonosze landscape by practicing different configurations, changing his point of observation and painting at different times of the day, perfectly capturing the changing hues of the snowy landscape. The merit of this painting lies not only in its decorative value, but also in its perfection in rendering on canvas the appearance of snow whether it is lying on the mountain slopes or coating the bare branches of trees.
