Emil Jakob Schindler (1842 - 1892)

Schindler is considered the main representative of “mood Impressionism”, an emotional manner of observing nature, with undramatic motifs. Schindler’s passion for this kind of painting was kindled during his time at the Vienna Academy (1860–1868) by his teacher Albert Zimmermann (1808–1888), who used to take regular walking tours with his students in Salzburg’s landscapes. During the 1870s and ‘80s, he travelled to Dalmatia, Venice, Holland and Paris. From 1885 he settled in Plankenberg Castle in the Vienna woods, where his pupils would gather during the summer months. He died during a holiday on Sylt.
