Carl Friedrich Deiker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Friedrich Deiker (born April 3, 1836 in Wetzlar , † March 19, 1892 in Düsseldorf ) was a German animal and hunting scene painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Carl Friedrich Deiker, son of drawing teacher Christian Friedrich Deiker , became a student at the State Drawing Academy in Hanau and began under the Director Theodore Pelissier (1794-1863) his artistic studies, he in 1858 at the Baden Grand Ducal Art School at the landscape painter Johann Wilhelm Schirmer in Karlsruhe continued. Deiker also received lessons and inspiration from his brother Johannes Deiker .

Like his brother, Carl Friedrich Deiker specialized in depicting animal and hunting motifs. From 1864 until his death he lived in Düsseldorf. He liked to paint big game and wild boar and liked to portray deer fights, fleeing big game - pursued by the hunter - huntings and the like. He also treated vultures and hawks, scenes from the life of foxes with luck. Eine Sauhatz (1870) is in the Museum zu Cologne. He has also drawn numerous hunting scenes for illustrated sheets and hunting books. Due to his dramatic descriptions of the hunt and his connection to the painting of the Rubens School , he is regarded as an important source of inspiration for animal painting at the Düsseldorf School.

The British animal painter Louis Henry Weston Klingender , the Swedish animal painter Bruno Liljefors and the German animal painter Fritz Schürmann were students of Deiker, as was his son Carl Deiker , born in 1879 , who became an animal painter and writer.
