Bernhard Fiedler studied at the Kunstakademie in Berlin with the landscape painters Johann Gerst and Wilhelm Krause. The recipient of an Austrian travel grant in 1843, he travelled extensively in Northern Italy and along the Dalmatian coast, recording his travels with paintings and watercolours. Fiedler was admitted to the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, and spent a considerable amount of time in Trieste, producing topographical drawings of the castles of the Friuli region for Friedrich Wilhelm IV and serving as drawing master to the Archduchess Charlotte. In 1853 he accompanied an Austrian delegation to Constantinople, where he presented a painting to the Sultan, and the following year was in Greece and Italy. Later trips took the artist to Turkey, Egypt, Palestine and the Near East, and these travels resulted in a number of charming paintings of Orientalist views and subjects. Among Fiedler’s important commissions was the decoration of the castle at Miramar, near Trieste. Paintings by Fiedler are today in museums in Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne, Vienna and Trieste, while a large alpine landscape, dated 1845, is in the Royal Collection at Osborne House. This painting, painted by a master artist and signed on reverse, is an example of a re-creation artist's finest work. The original painting, which is not for sale at any price, was copied in the most minute detail by this follower. Size 8 x 10" on board.
