Adlof Hitler's painting titled 'The Courtyard of the Old Residenz in Munich', 1914. Hitler often claimed to be a frustrated artist. He produced many paintings, predominantly landscapes, postcard scenes and urban views, and there was a considerable market for his work during the Third Reich. This example of his work was reproduced in a coffee table book about Hitler published during the Third Reich, millions of copies of which were printed. By 1938, Hitler had decided to prohibit reproductions of his paintings.
