About the Item
An exceptional post-impressionist view of Florence, Italy by Carl Schmitz-Pleis (1877-1943).
In the spring of 1910 Schmitz-Pleis and fellow friend/artist Walter Hugo Ophey travelled to Italy, where—inspired by the Neo-Impressionists—the present work was painted. Their objective was to capture the Italian landscape in sunlight, which was beautifully achieved in this work. Here, Schmitz-Pleis captures a rural pathway that weaves between colorful homes and rows of trees. In the background, glimpses of the city sit at the bottom of the surrounding hills.
The work is oil on canvas and is signed in the lower right. It housed in an appropriate gilt frame with cloth liner.

About the artist:
Carl Schmitz-Pleis studied at the Düsseldorf academy with Johann Peter Theodor Janssen, Eduard von Gebhardt and Claus Meyer. At first, he signed his works with his birth name, but later adopted "Carl Schmitz-Pleis" as a more distinctive artistic pseudonym. The "Pleis" was taken from Oberpleis, near Königswinter, where his older brother Heinrich lived with his family - Carl was a frequent visitor there.
In 1907-08 Schmitz-Pleis and fellow artist Walter Hugo Ophey founded the artists' group Künstlervereinigung Niederrhein, which was one of the most progressive movements of the time. 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, as well as the annual exhibitions held by Niederrhein. In his later years he rarely left Düsseldorf, dying unmarried, childless, and apparently forgotten, in 1943.
His works cover a wide range of genres, including landscapes, still-lifes, and portraits. The influence of Paul Cézanne is readily noticeable.
