Karl (Carl) August Heinrich Ferdinand Oesterley (born January 23, 1839 in Göttingen , † December 16, 1930 in Blankenese ) was a German landscape painter of Naturalism and Impressionism.

Life

Like his sisters Marie Oesterley and Luise Oesterley , Carl received his first drawing lessons from his father, Carl Oesterley senior (1805-1891). He attended the Polytechnic in Hanover and in 1857 went to the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where he trained for religious painting under Ernst Deger and Eduard Bendemann . During a stay in Lübeck, where he copied Hans Memling's Greveraden altar in 1865 , he began to be interested in landscape and architectural painting. He painted landscapes on the Wakenitz and Lübeck architecture. His repeated study trips to Norway , which he undertook almost annually since 1870, inspired him to take a series of pictures from the Nordic landscape. He also worked as a portrait painter. He lived in Blankenese near Hamburg from 1885. He was a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association from 1832 .

Oesterley is also traded internationally on the art market, for example in Germany and the United States. While paintings of the smaller format (oil / canvas; 28 × 39 cm) are estimated at Ketterer for € 800, large-format works also reach an estimated price of € 3000. His naturalistic works are far more common than the impressionistic ones . The latter are rarities. He signed his first name with "C" or "K". Oesterley junior was buried in the Blankenese cemetery.
