Heinrich Deiters was a student of the Academy of Dusseldorf. His landscapes

A Note on The Dusseldorf Gallery: During the latter nineteenth century
the city of Dusseldorf grew to be one of the most important centers of
painting and etching in all of Germany. Such fine artists as Franz Stegmann,
Karl Hoff, Max Volkhart, Carl Irmer, Heinrich Deiters, von Eckenbrecher,
Kroener and Jutz produced most of their best paintings and etchings while
residing there. |
