Germany
Fritz von Uhde was a German painter of the last third of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He is known as a religious and genre painter, who combined realism and impressionism in his work.
Von Uhde, creating genre and religious paintings, sought to connect the New Testament with modernity, depicting as characters representatives of the lower strata of the population. He is considered the forerunner of modern church art. Critics and the public often dismissed his work for being "vulgar," but admirers compared his style to Rembrandt for its naturalness and connection to life.
