Oswald Achenbach - Fireworks in Naples [1875]


Oswald Achenbach (Dusseldorf, February 2, 1827 – Dusseldorf, February 1, 1905) was a German landscape painter. His landscapes generally dwell on the rich and glowing effects of colour which drew him to the Bay of Naples and the neighborhood of Rome. From 1863 to 1872 he was Professor of Landscape Painting connected to the Dusseldorf School. He died in Düsseldorf of an inflammation of the lungs. He is represented at most of the important German galleries of modern art.
