Albert Flamm (born April 9, 1823 in Cologne , † March 28, 1906 in Düsseldorf ) was a German painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

From 1836 to 1838 Flamm studied construction ( architecture ) at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and in Antwerp . In 1841 he turned to painting and became a pupil of Andreas Achenbach in Düsseldorf , with whose brother Oswald he became close friends and undertook several study trips, initially to the Rhine, Ahr and Moselle, in 1845 a first, and from 1850 to 1853 another, longer trip to Italy , where they, together with Arnold Böcklin , took up residence in Rome and from there they started excursions to the Roman Campagna , the Pontine Marshes and the south of the Italian peninsula, for example to Naples . In later times the trips to Italy were repeated. Oswald Achenbach and Albert Flamm thus became "Italian painters". The American painter Sanford Robinson Gifford wrote from Rome in 1868 that Achenbach was the only painter who could capture the Italian landscape on canvas. Here he made an explicit exception with Flamm, whose Campagna landscape is exemplary and "true".

In 1848 Flamm was one of the founders of the Malkasten artists' association . In 1861 the Norwegian Ludvig Munthe and the American Alfred Cornelius Howland became von Flamm's private students, later also the Swede Jeanna Bauck and the American William Keith . In 1870 Flamm began to represent the teacher Oswald Achenbach at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. One of his students there was Gregor von Bochmann . In 1898, Albert Flamm, Otto Erdmann and Georg Oeder received the Red Eagle Order 4th class on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the painting set .

On October 19, 1860, Flamm married Anna Arnz, a daughter of the publisher Heinrich Arnz ( Arnz & Comp. ). She was the sister of the painter Albert Arnz and Julie Arnz (1827-1896), who had married the painter Oswald Achenbach . Flamm and Achenbach were thus brother-in-law. Flamm had a sister Charlotte (1820–1895), who worked as a still life painter , and a son Carl , who was a portrait painter . Another son, Oswald Flamm , studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in Charlottenburg and became a leading researcher and designer in ship and submarine construction in the German Empire.

Flamm mainly painted Italian landscapes , which have gained recognition through the truth of nature, luminous coloring and virtuoso treatment. In Italy he preferred the landscapes near Rome and Naples, which he showed in warm, bright sunlight and with finely painted details, often scenes from the life of the rural population, which met the expectations of the tourists in Italy. Often he chose an elevated viewer position in order to be able to generate wide, panoramic angles. From the 1860s onwards , Flamm was one of the “first-rate school and public greats” in Düsseldorf's landscape painting, alongside Oswald Achenbach and Eugen Dücker .
