Anton Joseph Stratmann
Anton Joseph Stratmann (* 1732 in Paderborn ; † February 12, 1807 there ) was a German artist of the 18th century. He was a representative of the late baroque in Westphalia .
Life
origin
Stratmann came from a family of painters who worked in the Westphalia area between the 16th and 19th centuries. His parents were the painter Johann Heinrich Stratmann (1708–1755) and Anna Maria Magdalena Woltemate (1703–1755), who also came from a family of painters.
Anton Joseph was the firstborn son. In contrast to his father and his ancestors, he managed to raise the art of painting to a new level. But his younger brother Johann Heinrich Joseph Stratmann (1736–1805) also became one of the most important sculptors in Westphalia. Little is known about Anton's youth in Paderborn. The citizen role shows the Kämper peasantry around the Gaukirche . Anton was baptized in the Busdorf Church. The family later seemed to have lived in the Giersbauerschaft (Casseler Strasse).
education
Although Stratmann was able to read and write, there is no evidence that he attended a higher school, for example at the Gymnasium Theodorianum . He probably only attended the elementary school of the Busdorf Church. The first-born was chosen as the successor to his father's painting trade without any guild rules. Around 6 years of apprenticeship from the age of 12 to 14 were common at this time. Stratmann did not become a journeyman, but chose the other alternative, wandering. In 1754 Stratmann became an apprentice to the Antwerp guild master Joseph Vervoort . From October 1754 to March 1755, Stratmann took the drawing course at the Antwerp Art Academy and won first prize in the competition, a silver sauce , presented by Mayor Dellafaille . Antwerp was in decline due to the closure of the Scheldt . The art academy was therefore not one of the top addresses in the 18th century. For Stratmann, however, attending school in the Catholic Austrian Netherlands was an obvious choice.
Life as an artist
On the occasion of the death of his parents in 1755, Stratmann returned to Westphalia early on. Stratmann's presence in Paderborn can only be proven in 1760. But the painter was able to establish himself in the capital of the monastery during the Seven Years' War , which devastated the prince-bishopric . A color version of a Liborius figure in Eissen is documented as the first work on March 8, 1760 .
On October 20, 1764 Stratmann married Maria Clara Elisabeth Kothe (1743–1782). Best man was his brother, the sculptor Johann Heinrich Joseph Stratmann . If Stratmann was still based near the Busdorf Church, the young family moved to the Marktkirch parish, where the Kothes probably also lived. On December 12, 1766, Stratmann was accordingly accepted into the western farming community. The Stratmanns moved to Westernstrasse right next to the Franciscan monastery (today house number 15). Nine children were born to the couple between 1766 and 1781. Six died in childhood. Only two sons survived their parents: Anton Ferdinand (1770–1844), who was also a painter, but also a businessman and in 1808 a police commissioner in the Kingdom of Westphalia , and Franz Anton Adolf (1774–?), Later a lieutenant in the prince-bishop's infantry regiment . The first-born Friedrich Jakob Aloysius Joseph died in 1786 as a theology student at Paderborn University . Maria Clara died in 1782. Three years later he married Maria Anna Block from the prince-bishop's residence town of Neuhaus . Only Johanna Catharina Elisabeth (1788-?) Emerged from this marriage.
Unlike Johann Georg Rudolphi, who was important in the bishopric in the 17th century, Stratmann never held any public office.
Anton Joseph Stratmann died on February 12, 1807 in Paderborn. In the church register of the Marktkirche, the cause of death is given as “exhaustion”. It is also mentioned that Stratmann spent his last two years in bed.
Artistic work
Not least because of his training in Antwerp, Stratmann's artistic work was entirely in the tradition of Flemish painting. Stratmann was not only skilled in his craft, he also managed to adapt to the market. This included that he mainly served clergy and noble clients.
One of his most important activities was the decoration of the castle in Münster . He has also made numerous portraits of contemporary prince-bishops and other personalities. In 1767 he created an altar for Prince-Bishop Friedrich Wilhelm von Westphalen in the castle chapel at Laer Castle with a painting of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist and statues of Saint Liborius and Saint Godehard. In Remblinghausen and in the Benedictine Huysburg he has also created altars. The same applies to the chapel of Schwarzenraben Castle near Lippstadt.
For the Hildesheim Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption , the second center of veneration for the Three Kings in Germany after Cologne Cathedral , Stratmann created the much-visited Three Kings Altar in the north aisle in 1773. The rococo reredos with the crib and the homage to the Christ child by Kaspar, Melchior and Balthasar burned completely in the air raid on Hildesheim on March 22, 1945. Two other carvings by Stratmann suffered the same fate at the same hour. For the Capuchin Church , today's seminary church , he designed the altar and pulpit in the same style in 1772. Their sound covers were carried by putti , only one of which survived the firestorm . Today it is in the Cathedral Museum . and delights the viewer with its lively lightness and a cheerfulness turned towards the sky.

Individual evidence
- ↑ His maternal grandfather was Jodokus Woltemate (approx. 1660–1738). The Stratmann family originally came from Höxter , but acquired Paderborn citizenship as early as 1592. During the Thirty Years' War , the great-grandfather of Anton Joseph Heinrich Stratmann (before 1592–1652 / 55) emigrated with his father Gerd from Paderborn to the Electoral Cologne Duchy of Westphalia . His grandson Alexander (1653–1715) died early and so at least two of his children Johann Heinrich and Johanna Maria moved back to Paderborn. See Strohmann 1997: 12ff
