Zeiler is the great Impressionist of Brittany.

(1873 Munich - 1958 ibid.) Plowing Farmer in Brittany, executed in broad, impulsive brushstrokes, a virtuosically rendered motif. Seyler, who studied at the Munich Academy under Ludwig Schmid-Reutte, Wilhelm von Diez, and Heinrich von Zügel, developed a distinctive, particularly late Impressionist style. In 1907, the Thannhauser Gallery exhibited Seyler's paintings for the first time and regularly presented his works from 1911 onward. In 1913, his works were shown at the legendary Armory Show in New York. In 1912, Seyler traveled to Paris and Brittany, where he was impressed by the works of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Paul Cézanne. In the 1920s, Seyler built on his early wartime successes, earning a professorship at the academy. He was honored with a monograph and a special exhibition at the Munich Glaspalast. Oil on board. Label from Thannhauser Gallery, Berlin (1927–1937), with an additional label reading "Plowing Farmer in Brittany." 44.5 cm x 69.5 cm. Framed. Signed.
