Paul Paede artwork • painting • previously for sale Garden with tea party

Born in Berlin in 1868, Paul Paede discovered painting during his apprenticeship as a lithographer. This led to him enrolling at the Munich Academy in 1898. During his studies he became so famous as a nude painter that he was called the 'Rubens of Impressionism'. Bathers in a landscape, Bacchante parties and music-making satyr families, but also nudes posing in an interior for which his wife Olga often served as a model. After traveling through southern Europe, his work became more refined in colour and brushwork.
