Adolf Hitler, infamous for his role in history as the dictator of Nazi Germany, also had a lesser-known passion for art. During his early years in Vienna from 1908 to 1913, Hitler immersed himself in painting, hoping to earn a living through his artwork. Despite his ambitions, he faced little commercial success, often struggling to sell his paintings and postcards. Adolf Hitler’s art provides a paradoxical insight into his early aspirations and artistic expressions. While his paintings capture a range of landscapes and architectural marvels like “Penzing – St. Rochus Kapelle” and “Hohe Burg,” they also prompt reflection on the intersection of art, history, and moral judgment. Following is the photo gallery of some of his Artworks:
