Henry (Henri) Schäfer, French 1833-1916- Views of a Northern European Cathedral, exterior and interior; oils on canvas, each signed and dated 'H. Schafer / 1889.' (lower right and lower left), each 91.5 x 71 cm., a pair (2). Note: Schäfer studied at the l’Ecole National de Beaux-Arts, Paris. He travelled through Europe and painted town scenes and cathedral interiors in Belgium, Germany, and Northern France. Many of his canvases depict the architecture of gothic cathedrals and churches, as in the present works. His compositions follow the styles of Samuel Prout (1783-1852) and Alfred Montagu (1832-1883).
