Viktor Schramm (1865-1929) was a Romanian painter and illustrator.He was a member of the Munich School, an association of artists either active in Munich or who had studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München.
Schramm’s paintings offer an intimate and staged glimpse into the everyday life of the upper middle class.
His oil paintings are characterized by a special devotion and sensitivity to materiality and décor.
Schramm not only staged the intimacy of the presented moment, but also created a detailed description of the bourgeois salon, which was characterized by its stimulations of touch and motion.
Among other things, Schramm’s specialty was depicting elegantly dressed young women.
The artist was able to capture the texture and light of dress fabrics and the play of colors over the silk.

That’s what fascinated me. I mean, the shine of the lights hitting the fabric — he must have really studied lighting way back then! Ha!

Wow. I agree, all the dresses are beautifully rendered. I would say almost ultra realistic.

Beautiful! It’s interesting that he depicted fashions that were from before his own time. It would be so interesting to know what he used for his visual sources!

Beautiful, but I can’t ever imagine living with that much fabric on me. Like a cloth prison.
