AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Richters was, among other things, a painter, draughtsman, graphic artist and stained glass designer. He was trained at the Rotterdam Academy of Visual Arts. He painted harbor scenes in his birthplace, Rotterdam. He also painted the polder landscapes around the city. Together with others, he founded the artists' group De Branding. He was also a member of the circle of visual artists R 33, and of the Sint Lucas Artists' Association in Amsterdam.
He belonged to the painters who in 1918 were commissioned to design wall paintings for the Rotterdam city council chamber. After a long and arduous 'struggle' all six wall panels—four in 1939 and two in 1946—were filled with Richters’ work by 1946. In 1941 he created, on behalf of the Municipality of Rotterdam, a biblical fresco in the chapel of the Zuiderziekenhuis.
Richters was an etcher and woodcutter. As a graphic artist he produced cityscapes, harbor scenes and religious prints. As a draughtsman he produced, among other things, political prints. Shortly before the bombing of Rotterdam in World War II, Richters created a panoramic drawing of the city of Rotterdam from the tower of the city hall.
