Eugen Croissant (1898–1976), son of the painter August Croissant, originally studied architecture at his father’s request. But he soon turned to his true passion: fine art. He preferred watercolor painting and devoted himself primarily to landscape themes and motifs. After his Munich studio—and with it, a large part of his work—was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1943, he moved to Lake Chiemsee.
From then on, he made the lake and the Upper Bavarian lake landscape the focus of his work. In numerous sketches, studies, and watercolors, he captured the changing seasons and the corresponding character of the landscape. He appreciated the tranquility and seclusion of the Alpine foothills, which lend his paintings their distinctive character.
