Having studied in Munich with Frank Duveneck, as one of the “Duveneck boys,” and in Venice in the 1880s with Whistler, Rosenberger moved in 1896 to Nova Scotia, where he became the principal of the Victoria School of Art and Design. The artist was known for his oils—which vacillated between impressionist and tonalist in style—etchings, and drawings of rural scenes. He preferred the panoramic format, such as the current example and was skilled at rendering the subtle effects of light and dark in his etched landscapes.
