Adolf Teichs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Adolf Teichs (born May 19, 1812 in Braunschweig , † October 20, 1860 in Dresden ) was a German history and genre painter as well as etcher and lithographer of the Düsseldorf School .

Life

At his father's request, Teichs initially studied law in Göttingen and Munich , then enrolled in architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich on May 5, 1830 - prompted by Friedrich von Gärtner - but soon switched to painting . From 1834 to 1836 he studied under Wilhelm Schadow at the Düsseldorf Art Academy .

In 1836 he moved, together with Alfred Rethel and Heinrich Funk , to Frankfurt am Main , where he lived until around 1840, in 1838 under one roof with Carl Trost and Otto Corvin . From 1840 Teichs lived in Munich again. At times he was based in Giessen and most recently in Dresden. Teichs went on study trips to Hungary, Tyrol and Northern Italy.

Under the influence of Eduard Bendemann's Captive Jews in Babylon (1832), his main work, Captured Greeks Guarded by Mamelukes , was written in Düsseldorf in 1836 . The picture, a manifesto of contemporary philhellenism and orientalism , was shown at various exhibitions and acquired by the art association for the Rhineland and Westphalia . Afterwards, it came into the possession of the Münster city archivist Heinrich Geisberg (1817–1895) through a raffle. Today it is on permanent loan from the Westphalian Art Association in the LWL Museum for Art and Culture .

Teichs also became known through the works of Albrecht Dürer painting , The wood collector in front of the forest chapel , scene in Auerbach's cellar , scene on the castle battlements , who does not love wine, women and song , angler in the seraglio , Karl V at Luther's grave ( Augusteum and Lutherhaus Wittenberg ), Egmont's course to the execution , Lenore and executioner's meal for the Girondists . In 1839 he created a portrait of Otto II for the Imperial Hall of the Frankfurt Römers .
