Carl Josef Alois Bourdet (also Karl Joseph Alois Burde ; born October 30, 1851 in Prague , † February 28, 1928 in Braunschweig ) was a German painter and watercolorist .

Live and act

Bourdet came from a German-Bohemian family of artists and was born in Prague as the eldest child of the landscape painter and printmaker Carl Joseph Bourdet ( Karel Josef Burde in Czech ; 1828-1859). His mother Katharina Tille was the daughter of a brandy distiller. His grandfather, the painter, graphic artist, restorer and art collector Josef Karl Bourdet (Czech Josef Karel Burde ; 1779–1848) was custodian in the Fatherland Museum in Bohemia, later the National Museum in Prague , and between 1804 and 1848 inspector of the gallery of the Society of Patriotic Art Friends .

After the early death of his father, his mother married the art historian Joseph Eduard Wessely (1826–1895). The family moved to Braunschweig in 1878, where the stepfather took the position of museum inspector at the Ducal Museum, today's Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum .

Carl Bourdet, who was trained by the landscape and decorative painter Christian Wilberg (1839–1882), mostly created views of landscapes, cities and buildings in the style of romantic realism . In 1883 he followed a call from the Royal Art Academy and School of Applied Arts in Leipzig as a teacher of decorative painting .

In 1904 Bourdet returned to Braunschweig, where he joined the artists' association Feuchter Brush , an association of painters, art historians, sculptors and architects around the Braunschweig writer Wilhelm Raabe . Carl Josef Alois Bourdet died on February 28, 1928 in Braunschweig.
