The Paintings
While Prof. H.C. Berann became world-famous for his panoramic maps, his true passion was always art. Throughout his life he painted powerful works that range from landscapes and portraits to visionary, symbolic compositions. His paintings reveal the depth of artistic vision that also animated his cartographic work.
A selection of paintings is shown below. Reprints are available as prints or postcards.
