Artist

Georg Schwer

Georg Schwer is a Biedermeier artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

A quiet scene from 19th-century village life appears in Georg Schwer’s oil paintings. In Travelling Dog Cart you can almost hear the wooden wheels creak as a single dog pulls a small cart through sunlit streets, while Girl Gathering Sticks shows a child bending to collect kindling near a low stone wall. Schwer’s brush preserved everyday moments with unshowy detail. Tap into Girl Gathering Sticks to step closer and watch the light on her apron.
