Adolf Hitler's painting titled 'Ruins of the Cloisters at Messines', 1914. Hitler often claimed to be a frustrated artist, and 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.
