Heinrich Böhmer was a German painter, best known for his immaculately rendered and realistic landscape paintings of the dense woods of Germany. Born in 1852, little is known about Böhmer, although he proved to be a prolific artist. He produced dozens of his small oil works, painted with rich greens and ochres, focusing heavily on the emotional quality of the forest. Infrequent figures appear in Böhmer's works, seemingly only included to provide anachronistic reference and contemporary scale to a primitive, archaic forest. Böhmer died in Germany in 1930.
