Wilhelm Stumpf

Wilhelm Ludwig Ferdinand Stumpf (30 March 1873, in Weimar – 27 August 1926,[1] in Oberstaufen) was a German landscape/portrait painter and illustrator.

[2] Later he attended the art academies in Leipzig and Munich, where he specialized in landscape and portrait painting.

In that year, he won the Silver Medal for decorative design at the Leipzig Art Exhibition.

After the war, Stumpf and his wife moved to the Oberallgäu district, settling in Oberstaufen, where he stayed at a rehabilitation center, hoping to recuperate his strength and peace of mind.

In 2009, a memorial exhibition was presented in Oberstaufen, accompanied by the first comprehensive catalog of his works; a list of which can be found in the corresponding article on German Wikipedia.
