  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.

It was probably at Becker's urging that Schreyer soon moved to the more progressive academy in Düsseldorf, which at that time attracted artists from all over Europe and the United States.
By 1854, Schreyer was in the Crimean Peninsula, observing and illustrating scenes of the war that had broken out there between Russia and a coalition consisting of Great Britain, France, and Turkey.
Schreyer left Paris in 1870 due to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, and returned to Germany where he settled in Cronberg, a summer resort and artists' colony in the Taunus Mountains outside Frankfurt, actively painting until his death in 1899.

Included in the original Frye collection are two paintings by the German artist Adolf Schreyer (1828-1899), of which Horses Fleeing from Flames is the larger and more ambitious.
Horses Fleeing the Flames is a prime example of the dramatic scenes and brilliant painting style developed by Schreyer, whose fondness for depicting animals in motion, particularly horses, is vividly demonstrated in this composition.
The panic and frenzied actions of the animals, heightened by the feathery touch of paint and swirl of color, immediately engage the viewer.
