I am trying to identify the location of a 1939 painting by Kurt Leyde. He painted this near the end of his life (d. 1941) and was born and died in Berlin. Apart from that, I don’t have much history on the piece. Since it was around the beginning of World War II, I was thinking it could be a pre-war depiction of the town. I was hoping someone might be able to recognize the area.

1...a pre-war depiction of [Berlin]. It doesn't look like an urban location at all.Weather Vane– Weather Vane2023-12-16 20:10:08 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2023 at 20:10

1How do you know it is a Kurt Leyde painting? Leyde was a reasonably famous painter, yet a google reverse image of this image returns nothing. But a reverse image search of other works known to be his does show them up.Peter M– Peter M2023-12-16 20:18:21 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2023 at 20:18

1Even if it’s not Leyde, I’m not looking to sell it. I was just curious where this was (if possible).Rick Karlson– Rick Karlson2023-12-16 20:28:40 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2023 at 20:28

1That’s very possible, that was why I asked originally in the event it was a real scene.Rick Karlson– Rick Karlson2023-12-16 20:35:48 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2023 at 20:35
