Life

Alois Josef Benedicter was born in Dischingen in 1843 as the son of a master dyer. At the age of fourteen he started his apprenticeship with his cousin, the church and decorative painter Mathias Stadler, in Kelheim . In 1861 Benedicter went to Stuttgart, where he worked for a decorative painter. Between 1863 and 1870 he studied at the Munich Art Academy with Hermann Anschütz , Georg Hiltensperger , Alexander Strähuber and Sándor Wagner . After graduating, Benedicter mainly painted large-format architectural pictures, but had to switch to smaller formats after being injured in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 . While traveling to the Netherlands and Belgium, Benedicter got to know Dutch genre painting and began to create genre pictures in addition to architectural pictures and interiors. In 1876 Benedicter traveled to Italy.

After his marriage in 1879, Benedicter lived in Rothenburg ob der Tauber . In 1893 the family moved to Pasing, where Benedicter became a member of the Munich artists' cooperative that same year. In his late work Benedicter turned to landscape painting, but figurative representations were also created. Peter Wiench describes Benedicters style in the general artist lexicon as “technically perfect, three-dimensionally designed and based on the Dutch. Genre and landscape painting oriented ”.
