Carl Johann Arnold . (Born August 30, 1829 in Kassel ; † August 11, 1916 in Jena ) was a German painter, draftsman and graphic artist.

Life

Carl Johann Arnold was a son of the wallpaper manufacturer and lithographer Karl Heinrich Arnold in Kassel. The mother, Antonie, née Reuter, was the daughter of the future director of the Nuremberg National Theater (from 1808), Joseph Reuter (1769–1816), and his wife Caroline, née Jaquemain. Even an actress and singer, among others at the Kassel court theater, she left the stage in 1820 on the occasion of her marriage. Carl had two sisters: Antonie (1821–1883) and Friedrike (1827–1910).

He first studied at the Academy in Kassel and then went to Berlin via Antwerp. Here he became a student of Adolf Menzel in 1846 . The painter had been on friendly terms with his father since he founded a branch in Berlin in the 1830s. Karl Johann turned to one of Menzel's motifs completely different subject areas, mainly animal painting, but he also created still lifes, figure scenes and portraits. Probably around 1886 he was appointed "royal Prussian court painter". From 1886 to 1913 he worked in Weimar, where on March 6, 1907 he received the honorary gift of the Seraphine Vogel Foundation, Hildburghausen, founded in 1904. In an exhibition catalog from 1869 - Arnold was represented with an animal - his address is “Weimar; Seminarstrasse 2 "specified.

Arnold worked on drawings, etchings and lithographs, watercolors and oil paintings, some of which appeared as reproductions in the popular magazines of the time - "Gartenlaube", "Über Land und Meer" or "Illustrirte Zeitung". Numerous portraits of his hand were commissioned work, such as that of the German Emperor Wilhelm II , which he executed more than 60 times. This fact should have led to his appointment as "Prussian court painter" around 1886.

Some of his works, such as Kaiser Wilhelm II in his coronation mantle, hung in the auditorium of the Strasbourg University, other portraits of the emperor in the Berlin City Hall and (formerly) in the Königsberg Palace. Among other things, he portrayed the composer Louis Spohr , Bettina von Arnim and the ophthalmologist Graefe. Some of his graphic works are in the Bremen art gallery.

In 1878 he painted The Berlin Congress in Prince Bismarck's palace , which is owned by the German Historical Museum in Berlin. The collection of the Grunewald hunting lodge preserves a painting that shows Kaiser Wilhelm I on arrival to a hunting party there in 1887.
