The »Leonhardi Atelier«, established in 1994, is dedicated to the founder and creator of the original museum – Eduard Leonhardi. Thanks to the generous help of the Leonhardi heirs, we are able – with a few temporary exceptions – to permanently present paintings by the artist; they not only show the former Ludwig Richter pupil as a »painter of the German forest«, as he was called early on, but also broaden the view of Leonhardi's qualities as an excellent landscape painter, who was not only closely connected to the cultural landscape of the Loschwitz Elbe slope in terms of motifs.

»Ludwig Richter had a fundamental influence on Leonhardi's conception of landscape and thus of art, as he awakened in Leonhardi an enthusiasm for the painterly beauty of his native nature, especially the Saxon and Bohemian surroundings, which always represented the landscape painter's most important artistic source. Like the Parisian landscape painters of the "Barbizon School" in the 1830s, who discovered the forest of Fontainebleau as a motif for their art, Leonhardi also fell under the spell of untouched forest nature.«
