Hans Sengthaler

Hans Sengthaler grew up in Berchtesgaden.  After he graduated school he attended the art class of the Halleiner University of Applied Sciences and Arts.  In addition to painting Sengthaler took an interest in graphic design and sculpting.  He moved to Munich in 1912 and ran a studio there.

Sengthaler had already lived through rough times during the First World War before he became famous when a bomb destroyed his studio and many of his works of art during the Second World War.  He returned to his home town and devoted himself to landscape painting.   His fine sense of colour and form stand out about this style of painting.
