Pair of seascape oil paintings of Malta & Constantinople by Anton Schoth

Anton Schoth
Austrian, (1843-1905)
Valetta, Malta & Constantinople
Oil on canvas, pair, both signed

Anton Schoth or Captain Anton Schoth is believed to be one of the pseudonyms of Karl Kaufmann. No official records appear to exist of him and his paintings and subject matter bear striking similarities to those of Kaufmann. 

Karl Kaufmann was born in Neuplachowitz, Austria in 1843. He studied at the Vienna Academy of Art and after completing his education travelled throughout Europe to paint scenes in Germany, Italy, Norway and the Netherlands. He began to specialise in landscapes, architectural and marine paintings and developed a feeling for atmosphere in his works. He also visited Venice and Istanbul on a number of occasions and started to produce Venetian and Oriental scenes for which he has become best known. 

Another remarkable feature of his paintings is that he often signed his work with a pseudonym including: ‘Henri Carnier’, 'C. Charpentier‘, ‘B. Lambert', 'Charles Marchand', ‘Theodore Walter’ and many more. Kaufmann died in Vienna on 27 April, 1905. Examples of his works can be found in public collections including the Russell-Coates Museum and Historic Waco Foundation, Texas.

Presentation: The paintings are housed in new, English made gilt frames which are in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, these works are offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.
