Fritz Georg Papperitz (1846-1918)
[Georg Papperitz]

Georg Papperitz is one of the modern German artists who have been largely influenced by the French school. He studied originally at Munich, where he indeed still has his studio and home, but worked also in Paris, and is a regular exhibitor at the French exhibitions. His style is broad, his color rich and harmonious, and he is especially happy in such subjects as "An Idyll," two wood-nymphs, one of whom pipes a melody of evening tribute to a bust of the god Pan, while the landscape darkens in the fading day and a new moon makes a pale crescent in the sky.
