Wilhelm Dürr the Younger

After his first training with his father, he attended classes at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts in 1874.

A major art exhibition held in Munich in 1883 proved to be the turning point for Dürr, who became acquainted with French open-air painting and the works of German artists such as Fritz von Uhde and Max Liebermann.

Around 1890 Dürr lived in artists' colonies at Dachau and Innviertel to learn more about landscape painting.

He was also responsible for furnishing several churches and other buildings in Freiburg and the surrounding area, following in his father's footsteps.

In 1888, he won the Gold Medal at the Great Munich Art Exhibition for the image Madonna im Grünen.
