Heidelberg Castle by artist Max Gollman.
31"43"
Hello, this item is a framed mid to late 20th-century decorative oil painting on canvas depicting Heidelberg Castle above the Neckar River, with the Old Bridge and town architecture below. The work is signed “Max Gollman” at the lower right and presents a carefully composed tourist-view landscape of Heidelberg, a subject with strong regional and souvenir-market appeal in Germany. The painting uses a controlled, illustrative style with smooth handling, softened hills, architectural detail, and a muted palette, placing it within the market for decorative European city views rather than the higher-value academic or modernist fine art market.
The painting appears stable from the photographs, with no major tears or losses visible, though the frame shows handling wear and the reverse construction suggests later 20th-century framing. The canvas texture and painted surface support an original hand-painted work rather than a print, but the artist does not appear to command a strong international secondary-market premium based on the evidence provided. Value depends mainly on the Heidelberg subject, attractive size, decorative quality, and condition. Based on the photographs, size of approximately 31 x 43 inches, subject matter, and likely decorative regional market, the fair market value is $150 to $400 USD.
