Heinrich Dreber is one of the German artists who made their longing for Italy the content of their work in the 19th century. An inheritance enabled him to travel to Italy in 1843, where he stayed from then on. In Rome he joined the landscape painter Reinhart and inspired Arnold Böcklin, five years his junior, as well as on Friedrich Preller the Elder and Edmund Kanoldt, with whom he belonged to the group of the Deutschrömer (German Romans). He enriched the Roman Campagna landscapes with biblical, mythological and antique figures, which add a lyrical note to the views. Balanced harmony characterizes his compositions, both in terms of motifs and the balanced coloring. Like Böcklin, he did not devote himself to the sublime ancient heaven of gods, but populates his landscapes with bucolic figures such as shepherds, peasants, fauns and nymphs. The Roman Campagna became a projection screen of a golden age of harmony between man and nature, filled with soft light and a dreamy longing. The important Munich collector Adolf von Schack was an admirer of his art, which is why an important painting by Dreber is now in the Bavarian State Painting Collections. [KT]
