About Hermann Corrodi
Hermann David Salomon Corrodi was a painter born in Frascati, near Rome, in 1844 into a Swiss family of artists who worked in Italy, and he died in Rome in 1905. He trained under his father, the landscape painter Salomon Corrodi, at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, and also studied in Paris. He later taught at the same academy, which made him an Academic of Merit in 1893.
Hermann Corrodi began as a landscape painter and is best known for glowing views at dawn, dusk and by moonlight: the Venetian lagoon, the ruins of the Roman countryside, and the coasts and monuments of Egypt, Syria, Cyprus and Turkey, which he visited often. These travels made him part of the Orientalist movement, European artists who painted the Middle East. Works include The Venetian Lagoon in the Evening Light (about 1880) and Caravan in a Sandstorm (about 1890). He received commissions from the British royal family and was a friend of Queen Victoria.
Hermann David Salomon Corrodi prints: reproductions of nineteenth-century Italian and Orientalist landscape paintings from the Corrodi family of painters in Rome, made between 1865 and 1870. Works in the collection include Feluccas on the Nile (1865), A Prayer Before Jerusalem (1868) and An Italian Lake (1870).
This selection concentrates on wide, calm landscapes: felucca sailing boats on the Nile, a prayer scene before Jerusalem, and an Italian lake. The paintings are soft and hazy, with small figures set against large stretches of water and sky.
The panoramic, quiet scenes suit living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, and the Nile view works well above a sofa, bed or sideboard. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
