First Scholderer established himself in Munich, renewing his friendship with Wilhelm Leibl and becoming one of the artists of the Leibl-Kreis (Leibl circle). At the beginning of 1871 he went to London and worked there till the autumn of 1899. After 1899, Scholderer returned to his hometown of Frankfurt, where he died at the age of almost 68 years on 22 January 1902. Otto Scholderer's art, initially dominated by landscapes, later consisted primarily of portraits and still lifes. The important connection between the romantic period and the Impressionists is evident in his work.   Related Paintings of Otto Scholderer :. | Self-portrait | Self portrait | Stilleben mit Trauben auf einer Porzellanschale, zwei Pfirsichen und gefulltem Sherryglas | Stilleben mit Apfeln und Messingeimer | Stilleben mit Weintrauben und Birnen |
