Gallus Emil Henschel 

Biography of Gallus Emil Henschel  ( 1865-1934 )

Little is known about the life and training of this painter, who specialized in portraits and landscapes. He seems to have been in touch with the main artistic currents of his time, and with many artists of the Berlin School. His landscapes are similar in style to those of post-Impressionist artists, while his portraits are often more academic in technique.

Born in Berlin in 1865, Gallus Emil Henschel studied with Max Koner at the Berlin School of Fine Arts. He exhibited regularly at the Grosse Berliner Kunst-Ausstellung, notably in 1905 and 1906, where he presented a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
