Ernst Ferdinand Oehme was a 19th century German Romantic landscape painter noted for his darkly atmospheric landscapes and paintings of architectural subjects.

Oehme studied with the highly regarded Danish painter Johan Christian Dahl, and through him met Caspar David Friedrich. The influence of both painters is evident in Oehme’s initial choices of subject matter and approach.

Later in his career, Oehme shifted his focus from the symbolism and emotional content of his early landscapes to more naturalistic subjects.
