Georg Carl Adolph Hasenpflug (born September 23, 1802 in Berlin , † April 13, 1858 in Halberstadt ) was a German painter .

Life

Like his father, Carl Hasenpflug first learned the trade of shoemaker. In 1820, however, he was able to begin an apprenticeship as a decorative painter in the workshop of Carl Wilhelm Gropius in Berlin . He also had contact with Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who worked there . Hasenpflug then devoted himself increasingly to architectural painting and occasionally visited - with the support of Friedrich Wilhelm III. - the Berlin Academy .

Hasenpflug first went from Berlin to Leipzig . From 1830, however, he lived and worked in Halberstadt. Hasenpflug became a painter in great demand due to his detailed and authentic architectural paintings. The focus of his work, which was often commissioned, was in particular church buildings. He painted the cathedrals of Magdeburg , Erfurt , Halberstadt and Brandenburg an der Havel .

From 1832 to 1836 Hasenpflug worked on an order in Cologne and met Carl Friedrich Lessing . Hasenpflug received suggestions from Lessing which led him to detach himself from the realistic, sober depiction of architecture that was cultivated in Berlin and to pursue a romantic, transfigured style in the sense of the Düsseldorf school . As a result, many works were created with, often wintry, motifs, such as ruins and chapels.

Hasenpflug, along with Eduard Gaertner , Johann Erdmann Hummel and Johann Heinrich Hintze, was one of the most important German architectural painters of his time.

The city of Magdeburg named Hasenpflugstrasse in his honor. There is also a street of the same name in Halberstadt .
