About Ernst Karl Eugen Koerner
Ernst Karl Eugen Koerner was a German landscape and history painter, born on 3 November 1846 at Stibbe near Marienwerder; he died in Berlin on 30 July 1927. From 1861 he studied landscape painting in Berlin with Hermann Eschke, and later animal painting with Carl Steffeck and Gottlieb Biermann. He travelled to northern France and the Baltic coast in 1868, made four visits to Capri from 1869, and toured England and Scotland in 1872. He first went to Egypt in 1873, returned several times, and saw the Alhambra in 1882.
Koerner is known for Orientalist views of Egypt and the Near East, especially ancient temples and pyramids. Key works include Suez (1874), a view of the Colossi of Memnon (1879), and The Temple of Karnak: The Great Hypostyle Hall (1890), in the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York. The Hamburger Kunsthalle holds his work. He won a gold medal in Vienna in 1873, was named professor in 1894, and chaired the Verein Berliner Künstler from 1895 to 1899.

Our selection focuses on water and architecture at the edges of the day: the Nile and the Golden Horn at dusk and by night, the plain of Thebes, and the mosques of Istanbul seen across the water. The palette runs from blue and violet night scenes to sand and gold.
The calm evening views suit bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
