Carl Gustaf Hellqvist (born December 15, 1851 in Kungsör , † November 19, 1890 in Munich ) was a Swedish painter .

Life

Hellqvist was born the son of a shoemaker and hobby carver in the village of Kungsör on Lake Mälaren . After an apprenticeship in the Stockholm studio of the decorative and theater painter Fredrik Ahlgrenson (1838–1902), he trained as a history painter from 1867 at the Stockholm Art Academy with Johan Georg von Rosen . In 1877 he traveled to Paris, where the painting Ludwig XI. originated in his garden . As a scholarship holder, he then went to Munich to continue his studies, where he worked at the art academy in Karl Theodor von Piloty's composition class. He made friends with the Munich painter Ludwig Thiersch , married his daughter Julie (1859–1909) in 1882 and stayed with her briefly in Paris. However, he was often in Köppeleck (Unterschönau) near Berchtesgaden, where Thiersch owned a country house with a studio. The daughter Märit (1883) was born in Berchtesgaden, the sons Karl Ludwig (1885) and Gustav Hans Emil August (1889) in Schönau. In 1881 he acquired Bavarian citizenship. In 1886 he was given a teaching position at the Berlin Art Academy, but had to stop teaching there after suffering a severe concussion as a result of an accident while ice skating. In 1889 he was taken to a mental institution in Munich, where he died a year later, mentally deranged.

Works and exhibitions

In 1875, while still in Stockholm, Hellqvist received a prize for his painting Gustaf I. anklagar Peder Sunnanväder och Mäster Knut inför domkapitlet i Västerås (Gustaf I sued Peder Sunnanväder and Probst Knut before the cathedral chapter in Västerås) . In Munich in 1879 at the international art exhibition he showed another figure-rich painting from the same historical context, Shameful Entry of Bishop Sonnanväder and Provost Knut in Stockholm in September 1526, which was praised for the power of characterization of the people represented and its dignified coloring. These advantages were shown even more decisively in another picture painted in 1880: The imperial administrator Sten Sture the Elder died on the ice of Lake Mälaren in 1520 . All three pictures are now in the Stockholm National Museum. Waldemar Atterdag's composition Arson Visby from 1881 was awarded a gold medal on the occasion of its exhibition in Vienna. Four of his works were exhibited in the annual exhibition in the Glaspalast in Munich in 1883, including the disputation between Canonikus Galle and Olaus Petri , a pupil of Luther in Uppsala in 1524, in the presence of Gustav Wasa . Hellqvist received a II class medal. In the same year, Mönch was born in Berchtesgaden while studying the Bible and in 1885 the body of Gustav Adolf was embarked in the port of Wolgast .
