Adolf Höninghaus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolf Höninghaus , also Adolph Hoeninghaus (* 1811 in Krefeld , Département de la Roer , French Empire , † September 30, 1882 ibid), was a German architecture and landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Höninghaus was born as the son of the Krefeld merchant and natural scientist Friedrich Wilhelm Hoeninghaus (1770-1854). His company Hoeninghaus & Co., founded in 1796 (from 1802 and 1804 Hoeninghaus & de Greiff ), was the third largest publisher in Krefeld in 1816 . His brother was the politician Friedrich Wilhelm Hoeninghaus . From 1829 to 1836 Höninghaus attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where he initially pursued architectural studies. In the school year 1832/1833 he was a student in Johann Wilhelm Schirmer's landscape class there . From 1843 to 1848 he undertook a grand tour to Italy, in 1844 he lived in Rome and visited Olevano Romano , then he settled in Düsseldorf , and in 1853 in Dresden . In addition to architectural motifs, he painted landscapes, often wooded river landscapes. His interest in natural science, which he had probably gotten from his father who was interested in mineralogy, allowed him to depict rock layers with a meticulousness reminiscent of Carl Friedrich Lessing . Höninghaus developed an intimate and friendly relationship with his teacher Schirmer, with whom he went on study trips to the Ahr and the Eifel.

A pencil sketch with a portrait of Höninghaus comes from the painter Joseph Anton Settegast and depicts him in a drawing pose in Mittenwald in August 1838 .
