An exceptional quality antique impressionist oil on canvas painting by Carl Schmitz-Pleis (1877-1943).
Painted at dusk, the impressionist brush strokes and warm colours of the evening light reflect off of the water, an atmospheric painting that looks wonderful on the wall.

Notes on the artist:
Carl Schmitz-Pleis studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1907 and 1908, together with several forward-thinking artists he helped to create "Niederrhein" (Lower Rhine), a progressive artists' association. In the Spring of 1910, he and several other members of the group travelled to Italy, with the goal of "capturing nature in the sunlight". From 1913 to 1928, he was a member of Malkasten, another progressive association. He took part in numerous large art exhibitions, at the Alte Kunsthalle and the Kunstpalast in Dusseldorf, as well as organizing the annual exhibitions held by Niederrhein.
Generally, he is associated with the Düsseldorf School, his works cover a wide range of genres, including landscapes, still-lifes, and portraits. The influence of Paul Cézanne is readily noticeable. His works may be seen at the Kunstpalast and the Stiftung Sammlung Volmer in Wuppertal.
