In the idyllic alleys of Meissen, a place that has always shone with its artistic aura, Viktor Paul Mohn was born in November 1842. This remarkable German artist, who would later enchant the world with his landscape paintings, drawings and illustrations of the late Romantic period, began his journey in art as the son of the council builder Johann August Mohn. In his early youth, Mohn received drawing lessons from renowned porcelain painters who instilled in him not only skills, but also ambition and a love of art.
Mohn's artistic path led him to the Art Academy in Dresden, where he continued his education between 1858 and 1861. But he was to find his true inspiration in the studios of the legendary Ludwig Adrian Richter, under whose tutelage he studied from 1861 to 1866. These years were marked by intense creative development and unforgettable travels, including study trips to northern Bohemia and twice to Italy. In these Italian lands, where history and culture merged into a vibrant symbiosis, Mohn created works such as the famous "Campagna di Roma." These travels shaped not only his art, but also his soul. Today, art prints of Mohn's masterpieces offer the opportunity to recreate this unique connection between artist and landscape, recognizing the almost palpable heart and soul and fascination for the surroundings in every brushstroke.
Upon his return to Dresden, Mohn quickly assumed significant academic roles, first as a lecturer and later as a professor at the renowned Dresden Art Academy. His talent and leadership eventually led him to Berlin, where he first became a professor at the Royal School of Art, eventually assuming its directorship in 1905. Despite all these successes and commitments, Mohn always remained true to his true passion, painting. He produced countless works ranging from his native Saxony to the Swiss Alps and the sun-drenched landscapes of Italy. He also left his mark on children's and youth literature with his memorable illustrations. In 1911, after a life so rich in art and influence, Viktor Paul Mohn left this world, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of art lovers through art prints.
