Johan Jungblut [1860-1912] was born in Sarrebourg on the French/German border in April of 1860, although in 1885 he made the German city of Dusseldorf his home. Johan Jungblut was a solitary figure who lived alone; he made frequent trips to Holland to paint, specialising in Winter scenes infused with tranquil light. Today the museums of Brooklyn and Mayence (in France) display his work.
