Villeneuve-les-Avignon 1911

Hermann Lismann's 1911 ink drawing, "Villeneuve-les-Avignon", is a striking example of expressive landscape art. The work features a dramatic perspective of the fortified town of Villeneuve-les-Avignon, with the imposing tower dominating the composition. The artist's bold, loose brushstrokes capture the essence of the scene, emphasizing the rugged terrain and the sense of historical weight that pervades the landscape. This artwork, now housed in the Städel Museum, demonstrates Lismann's mastery of ink drawing and his ability to convey a powerful sense of place.
