SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The Russian-German genre painter Wilhelm Velten was born in Saint Petersburg in 1847 and died in Munich in 1929. He began studying at the Academy of Munich in 1869 and became a pupil of Wilhelm von Diez the following year; he later taught there as a professor. His activity was based mainly in Munich, with regular stays in Dachau and Etzenhausen from 1890 onwards.
That same year, he joined the Dachau artists’ colony. He was also a member of the Münchner Künstlergenossenschaft and the Münchner Sezession. His work is represented in several collections, including the Fine Arts Academy in Buffalo, the Neue Pinakothek and the Städtische Galerie in Munich, as well as the Staatsgalerie in Prague. The painting entitled “Jäger am Sturzbach” is described as signed at the lower left and bearing the inscription “W. Velten München”.
