Dear swiftflyer,
I am absolutely sure that the painter you have in mind is Hermann
Rüdisühli. He was born in Lenzburg (Switzerland) in 1864 as one of 14
children of the engraver and painter Jakob Lorenz Rüdisühli
(1835-1918). Hermann Traugott Rüdisühli was a disciple of his father
first, before he moved to Munich (Germany) and received further
tutition from Ferdinand Keller and K. Brünner.
Hermann Rüdisühli became a reputable sculptor and painter, best known
for his landscape paintings. Together with his younger brother, Paul
Eduard (1875-1940), he produced more than 4500 such pictures over the
years, of which many fell victim to World War II and do not exist
anymore. These paintings were in such demand that the brothers
reproduced them as postcards. His paintings made Hermann Rüdisühli a
very wealthy man, he could for example afford buying Wartensee Castle
near Rorschach (Switzerland) as residence.
Despite his tremendous success as an artist, Hermann Rüdisühli's life
ended in a sad way: In 1944, he committed suicide in Munich, since he
was too much afflicted with familiar troubles.

father, Jakob Lorenz; to the right, his sister Alma Luise (1867-1928),

European collectors today. His 1905 painting "Südliche Landschaft im
Herbst" (Southern Landscape in Autumn) was sold for approximately
$1200.00 in September 2000, "Abendliche Landschaft" (Landscape at
Evening) also reached $1200.00. Please follow these liks to see some
