Carl Maria Seyppel , also Karl Maria Seyppel, (born July 28, 1847 in Düsseldorf , † November 20, 1913 there ) was a German genre and portrait painter , caricaturist and writer .

Life

The son of Friedrich Wilhelm Seyppel, an official of the Düsseldorfer Städtische Leihanstalt, and his wife Josefina Dorothea, née Cup, entered the elementary class of the Düsseldorf Art Academy at the age of 14 - through the mediation of Hermann Wislicenus . His teachers here were Andreas Müller in the elementary class and in art history, Carl Müller in the Antikensaal and Rudolf Wiegmann in the building class. in November 1866 he switched to the composition class under Karl Ferdinand Sohn . The painting “Young Italian”, created in the master class in 1867, is considered to be the first work Seyppel painted independently. "The happy find" was also created in 1868 while studying. After his son's death, Seyppel continued his studies with Julius Roeting and Eduard Bendemann . The examination of the older Dutch painting gave him not only a thorough technique but also a fine sense of tone. In 1870 he only worked for a short time in Ludwig Knaus' studio . After a brief assignment during the Franco-German War in 1870/71 as a nurse in military hospitals near Trier and Metz , he went on study trips to the Rhine and Moselle , to Westphalia and Upper Bavaria , to the Black Forest, as well as to England and the Netherlands . In 1898 he traveled to Paris with Heinrich Petersen-fishing and Gustav Adolf Schweitzer .

Seyppel's works were regularly represented in exhibitions at home and abroad. In 1887, the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Magdeburg bought the painting “Matt in two trains”, which he then repeated in 1889. “Der Leierkastenmann” (1880) ended up in the Lower Saxony State Gallery in Hanover ; the “rosary seller” acquired the city ​​museum in Bonn .

Seyppel was active all his life in Düsseldorf, where he was a member from 1873 to 1913 and President of the Malkasten Artists 'Association (KVM) in 1898, as well as a member of the academic artists' association "Orient". He was also involved in the board of directors of the Düsseldorf History Association. Seyppel painted landscapes - including "Straße an der Mosel" (1870), "Mühle am Niederrhein" (1872), "Windmühle bei Zons" (1870) - and portraits, especially those of Düsseldorf painters, but preferred humorous scenes from popular life. He created the mural “The Wolfsschlucht” for a restaurant. His “ancient Egyptian” humoresques - a pre-form of the “comics” - which were created from 1882 onwards, were also known. During this time he was in correspondence with the Egyptologist and writer Georg Ebers . He was also involved with texts and / or illustrations in “Vom Storchennest bis zur Schule” (children's book, 1881), “Kneipepistel § 11” (1881), “Mein Buch” (1884), “Carmen Silva” (memorial sheets of the Queen of Romania), and “German fairy tales for youth and people” (1887). For the KVM he drew the portraits of his painting colleagues, designed theater posters for several “strolling pieces” - in which he also played a part - and wrote humorous poems.

In 1893, Seyppel exhibited six “parodies of a recent Norwegian exhibition” in Eduard Schulte's Düsseldorf art dealer, including “Midnight Sun, with a head in front of it, with ears shining through”, “The Promised Land”, “To Krefeld” and “To Duisburg ". The occasion was the exhibition of works by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch , which had been shown in Düsseldorf in 1892 after the exhibition in Berlin was canceled. It had triggered a dispute within the artist community and ultimately led to the separation of the “Free Artists' Association” of mostly younger artists from the KVM. Seyppel apparently shared the conservative view of the older generation.

Seyppel was married to Helene, née Brunstering. The marriage had five children. His son, the Düsseldorf painter Hans Seyppel, created his portrait for the KVM's artist gallery
