August zinc iron

Conrad August Zinkeisen (born May 22, 1856 in Fechenheim , Hanau district , Electorate of Hesse , † 1912 in Düsseldorf ) was a German genre painter and illustrator of the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Zinkeisen came from a Protestant family in Fechenheim near Frankfurt am Main . At the age of 26, he began studying painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 1881 , which he had to interrupt several times due to financial problems. However, by 1894 he managed to obtain a very comprehensive academic training as a figure and genre painter. At the Düsseldorf Academy Hugo Crola , Peter Janssen the Elder , Adolf Schill , Julius Roeting and, above all, Eduard von Gebhardt were his teachers.

Zinkeisen settled in Düsseldorf. There he made a contribution to the renewal of the genre image “by moving to a precise, detailed realism and turning to subjects from the lower folk.” He also made a name for himself as a “fairy tale painter” and illustrator of fairy tale books. On April 24, 1899, he married the pianist Anna Haasters (1866–?) In Cologne, who from then on appeared as an artist under the name Anna Haasters-Zinkeisen .
