Rudolf Gudden was a German genre and landscape painter.
He studied at the Munich and Karlsruhe Art Academies and eventually settled in Frankfurt, where he founded the Frankfurt-Cronberg Artists' Association. Strongly inspired by light or the incidence of light, he created works of expressivity, contrary to the usual art, and is thus considered a pioneer of modernism. In addition to Frankfurt, Karlsruhe and Paris, Gudden also exhibited at the Glaspalast in Munich from 1889. Many of his works were there, during the II World War, victims of the flames.
