Rudolf Reschreiter was a German painter.
After graduating from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1888, Reschreiter studied at the Munich Academy under Gabriel von Hackl. He mainly painted in watercolor and was praised for his hyper-realistic depiction of nature. One of his most famous works is the depiction of the Waxenstein ridge from Mathaisenkar. His works can be seen in Alpine Museums in Kempten, Munich and the Alpine Club Museum in Innsbruck. Rudolf Reschreiter made the drawings for “Schwaiger's Führer durch das Wettersteingebirge”, Munich, 1901.
Wow I would have never guessed this was a physical painting, it looks almost digital. The big strokes and solid colors are incredible.
I think that's partly the Gouache paint they used. It is amazing work, regardless.
I think my favorite thing about posting here is I get to show how there have been many, many amazing artists through the years, not just the 20 or so big names everyone knows.
