Gustave Adolph Wiegand (1870-1957) was a painter of quiet landscapes known for his “pleasant, lyrical technique.” Born in Germany, Wiegand studied at the Royal Academies of both Berlin and Dresden before moving to New York to learn from William Merritt Chase, whose singular blending of Realism and Impressionism can be found in Wiegand’s work. Wiegand exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Art Institute of Chicago, and earned a prize from the National Academy of Design.
