Artist: Ludwig von Hofmann (1861-1945)

Medium: Color Lithograph on paper

Dated: 1916

The Ludwig von Hofmann print Reife Fruchte (directly above) arrived yesterday and I must say it is beautiful. I can always count on the Galerie-Jacobsa in Neurnberg to provide quality works. The subject matter is typical of von Hofmann's Symbolist roots. His subject matter is somewhat academic in execution. The print itself is mounted in a paper frame and at the bottom of the frame there is an embossed stamp from the publisher. The print was printed by Freunde Graphische Kunst, Leipzig in 1916. I have included photographs of other von Hofmann works (paintings and prints)at the top of this post to give you an idea of his other Symbolist works. You can see the recurring themes in his work. I have one more Ludwig von Hofmann print in my collection and I will post that as soon as I can photograph it.
