Philipp Veith

Philipp Veith was an artist active in the period spanning 1792 through 1824. His documented body of work focuses heavily on landscape composition, encompassing both native topographical studies and classical Italianate subjects, documented primarily through drawings, prints, and illustrated portfolios.

Veith’s works represented in major collections include one print, one drawing, and seven distinct portfolios. Among the known titles preserved is the drawing The Ruins of the Monastery of Oybin in the Zittau Mountains, contrasting with the generalized classical view found in Italianate Landscape. His portfolio work, such as Arbeiten der Musse/Ouvrages de Loisir (Works of Leisure), Part 2, indicates an engagement with published series.

The artist’s interest in varied scenery is evident in compositions like Grove of Trees by the Fish House, near Dresden and Inn of the Vineyards, Italy. Today, Veith's artistic legacy is maintained through institutional holdings. His works are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. As these materials transition into the public domain, high-quality prints of Veith’s compositions are often made available for study and enjoyment.
