Karl Schade was an atmospheric Impressionist, primarily focusing on landscape painting. He spent almost his entire year going out into nature, moving from place to place with his easel. He always wished to capture the atmosphere in nature. He was highly respected as a master of soft moods, and it is always a pleasure to see his work.
In 1881, he attended the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, followed by Vienna Academy from 1882 to 1885. From 1889 to 1890, he trained under Ludwig Minnigerode.
Schade exhibited his works in Vienna, Munich, Brno and Prague. In 1932, he was awarded the Golden Badge of Merit. In 1935, a group exhibition, which included 70 of his works, was held at the Palm House in the Burggarten, Vienna.
“His landscape paintings were in high esteem, waited for and - purchased!” A.D.
Schade lived at Böcklinstraße, and the Prater was close at hand as a motif for his paintings. Franz Servaes described him in 1932: “As Adalbert Stifter to words, that is him to color."
