Zeyler is a great Impressionist of Brittany.

(1873 Munich – 1958 same place) A plowing farmer in Brittany, executed with broad, impulsive brushstrokes, a virtuoso interpretation of the motif. Seiler, who was educated at the Munich Academy under Ludwig Schmid-Reutte, Wilhelm von Diez, and Heinrich von Zügel, developed a distinctive style, characteristic of late Impressionism. In 1907, the Thannhauser Gallery exhibited Seiler’s paintings for the first time and regularly showcased his works from 1911 onwards. In 1913, his works were displayed at the legendary Armory Show in New York. In 1912, Seiler traveled to Paris and Brittany, where he was impressed by the works of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Paul Cézanne. In the 1920s, Seiler was able to build on his early successes, receiving the title of professor at the academy. He was recognized with a monograph and a special exhibition at the Munich Glaspalast.
