Self-portrait

Carl Glinzer , often also Karl Glinzer , (actually Justus Wilhelm Karl Glinzer , born February 2, 1802 in Guxhagen , † April 28, 1878 in Kassel ) was a German painter , draftsman , copyist and lithographer of the Biedermeier period in the transition to Romanticism . He was close to the Nazarenes and created simple mythological and biblical scenes, genres , portraits and landscapes .

Life

Carl Glinzer was born in the Breitenauer Mühle as the son of the mill owner Lieutenant a. D. Sebastian Glinzer and his wife Johanne Caroline Louise, née Rübenkönig. His father was a lieutenant in the Hessian auxiliaries for England in North America . A few years after the father died around 1808, the mother moved to Kassel with her underage children . The sale of the Fuldamühle offered the son financial security for decades.

Training in Kassel, Düsseldorf, Munich and Paris

In Kassel he lived with his stepsister. Carl Glinzer received his first drawing lessons at the school in Kassel, later he attended Jean Jacques Isaac Raffi's drawing school and was then a student of Justus Krauskopf . Krauskopf stood by Glinzers as a lifelong advisor. In 1820 he traveled from Kassel via Frankfurt am Main to Munich . From 1820 to 1822 he attended the academy in Munich. In autumn 1822 he returned to Kassel via Nuremberg and Thuringia . In 1825 he went to Düsseldorf and then traveled via Brussels to Paris , where he learned life drawing from Antoine-Jean Gros and copied the Flemish baroque painters Anthonis van Dyck and Rembrandt van Rijn in the Louvre . The most important source of information about Glinzer's stay in the French capital is an article by his son published in 1917, which still contained numerous works and notes by the painter. In Paris, the focus was on life drawing. Glinzer's son later recognized in his father's Paris drawings revelations of the beauty of the human body as well as of the high level of development which the art class was taking in Paris at that time . A female nude seen from the rear is dated December 1825, apparently with the name of the model from Gros' studio. "It was here where his against the neutral background spontaneously added brilliant costuming the delighted exclamation of his teacher Gros earned while painting a female nude: Monsieur, vous êtes coloriste." In a collective drawing portrayed Glinzer 1825 or 1826 his German fellow-artists in Paris.

Return to Kassel

In 1826 he returned to Kassel, where he could "bring in harvest [...] from his Paris studies". Glinzer initially worked as a freelance painter in Kassel. From 1833 to 1834 Glinzer went on a study trip to Rome and Naples with Justus Krauskopf . In Italy he approximated his style of painting to that of the Nazarenes . For a few years he was able to live off commissioned portraits in Kassel, before the economic and art-political conditions in Kassel forced him to teach. After the middle of the century he had a private drawing school in Kassel where he a. a. Gerhardt Wilhelm von Reutern taught and then taught at the Jathoschen Töchter - and the municipal secondary school .

Art fonts

Glinzer also published some writings on art classes, e.g. B. Drawing lessons in elementary school. Necessity of a reform of the same (Gotthelft, Kassel 1868) and the elementary drawing lessons according to dictates, only possible teaching method in the narrowly allocated space of the elementary school (Separat-Druck, Kassel 1868). In the 1860s he described himself as a pupil and admirer of the strict David 's school .

Glinzer also created religious history and genre pictures , he designed the biblical scene Gang nach Emaus for the church in the Kassel district of Wehlheiden and the large genre picture of the slave market in Alexandria for the city of Kassel . His lively romantic relationship with nature resulted in landscape and nature studies as well as lithographs , such as the lithographic collections foreground studies and 20 wall panels, drawn from natural plant leaves (1875). He created other lithographic works in the form of numerous portraits and some larger sheets. The Greek mythological scene Pan and Syrinx (1852) is particularly noteworthy in terms of art history . After his own drawings of the Wilhelmshöhe Palace and Park , Carl Ludwig Frommel made highly valued romantic etchings by his contemporaries around 1850 , which were given the title Carlsruhe .

Alongside August von der Embde , Carl Glinzer is one of the most important portrait painters of the Biedermeier period in Kassel. He died in 1878.
