Offered for sale is this original, signed, Peter Lanz Hohnstedt oil painting of a Texas Hill Country landscape.

Hohnstedt, a prominent American artist, studied painting under Frank Duveneck and painted with Clarence Millet in Louisiana and Mississippi. He is well known for his impressionist paintings of Louisiana swamp lands and Texan landscapes in the heart of Hill Country.

The painting is oil on canvas in a gilded arts and crafts-style frame (with a couple of small spots of missing gilding). The painter's name is signed on the lower right corner (P.L. Hohnstedt).

The artist was born in Cincinnati in 1872 and moved to New Orleans in 1914 where he was asked to do a painting for the Delgado Museum. He painted in Seattle, Washington in the mid-1920s and exhibited at the Seattle Fine Arts Society. In 1928 he settled in Comfort, Texas and did much of his most known work in and around Comfort where he was inspired by the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country.

He died in Comfort in 1957. He exhibited at the Witte Museum (and won two awards in the Edgar B. Davis Competition) in 1929 and continued to exhibit throughout the 30s and 40s with several one-man shows.

This is a wonderful oil painting and is in original, untouched condition. We have black lighted this picture and it has not been restored, relined or touched up in any way.
