Ferdinand von Kobell, a distinguished figure in 18th-century German landscape art, was both a painter and engraver closely associated with the Munich School. Initially trained in law, Kobell's passion for the arts led him to Italy and the Netherlands, where he absorbed influences from the Dutch Golden Age landscapists and classical traditions. His works often reflect an idealized nature, populated with subtle human presence, rendered with remarkable sensitivity and technical precision.
