Heinrich Böhmer was a German landscape painter active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
I can find little information about him and only a few sources of images, but those I’ve encountered are wonderful.
Böhmer’s muted, subtle forest interiors, streams and pathways put me in mind of Peder Mørk Mønsted, though I don’t know if there was any direct influence.

Lovely paintings, lovely colors, but all I can think about is how many bugs he must have swatted at as they swarmed around his painting station in the woods.
Occupational hazard (grin).
Another great find, Charley. Dare I say his forests rival those of Shishkin?
Thank you,

My pleasure, Bill. They’re certainly among the best I’ve seen. I just wish there were more resources for images of his work.
