Adolf Schreyer - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | ADOLF SCHREYER (1828-1899), German painter, was born at Frankfort-on-Main, and studied art first at the Staedel Institute in his native town, and then at Stuttgart, Munich, and Dusseldorf; but he formed his style in Paris, whilst he found his favourite subjects in his travels in the East. |
 | | Schreyer was, and is still, especially esteemed as a painter of horses, of peasant life in Wallachia and Moldavia, and of battle incidents. |
 | | The Metropolitan Museum, New York, owns three of Schreyer's oriental paintings: "Abandoned," "Arabs on the March" and "Arabs making a detour"; and many of his best pictures are in the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, J. Astor, W. Astor, A. Belmont, and W. Walters collections. |
