Ludwig von Hofmann (August 17, 1861, Darmstadt – August 23, 1945, Pillnitz); German painter. His style was impressionist, and he painted many paintings, such as his well-known "Rain", in a mixture of impressionist and classical. He competed in the Art competitions at the 1928 Summer Olympics. He was also blind in one eye. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_von_Hofmann)
German Ludwig von Hofmann was the son of the former Prime Minister (1872-76) of the Grand Duchy of Hessia, Karl von Hofmann. Ludwig studied in Dresden, Karlsruhe and Paris, and belonged, like [Max Liebermann], to the Group of XI, later the Berlin Secession. Artistically he could not be classified easily as he painted in different genres: symbolism, art nouveau, historicism, new objectivity. In 1903, von Hofmann became a professor at the Weimar School of Art, but in 1916 moved to the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden, until 1931. Some of his works were considered “degenerate” by the Nazis, while others were acceptable to the Reich. (http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ho/ludwig-von-hofmann-1.html) undefined
