| Hermann Mattison [Wikipedia] |
Hermann Mattison was an endgame studies composer. His studies, generally deceptively simple positions with a hidden solution, were compiled by T.Whitworth in "Mattison's Chess Studies" (1987).
Brian Stephenson's article published in "CHESS" in October, 2007 may be an interesting read.
54 of Mattison's studies can be found on Gilles Jobin's website and JMRW has made another selection, assorted with the usual paintings, on his website.
The initial version of the below study was cooked, as G.Ettl commented, but V.Vlasenko corrected it with the following version:
