Georg Heinrich Hergenröder
(Darmstadt 1736–circa 1794 Offenbach/Main)
A pair of grotto pictures with elegant figural groups, one signed and (illegibly) dated: GH Hergenröder 17.., oil on panel, each 33 x 25.5 cm, framed,
Hergenröder, who ran a drawing schook in Offenbach, specialised in grotto pictures of this kind and enjoyed great success with them. In ‘Thieme-Becker’ it says, “His pictures, always small in format, tend to depict caves and vaults richly populated with figural groups, after the taste of the painter, Cuylenburg. Depicted are soldiers, robbers, treasure seekers, as well as bathing nymphs or statues in fantastical surroundings...”. Hergenröder’s pictures were acquired by museums in Dessau, Frankfurt/Main and Kassel.
