Life

As the son of the university inspector Georg Heinrich Oesterley , Carl Oesterley studied archeology , history and philosophy at the University of Göttingen since 1822 after graduating from high school in Holzminden . On March 29, 1824 he received his doctorate there in the field of art history . He then went to Dresden , where he took drawing lessons after receiving first painting lessons in Kassel. Carl Oesterley was a student of Johann Gottlob Matthäi (1753-1832) and stayed in Rome from 1824 to 1829 . After his return to Germany he completed his habilitation in 1829 ; In 1831 he took over a professorship in art history in Göttingen, where he edited the monuments of ancient art with Carl Otfried Müller . In 1842 he became a full professor of art.

After completing the picture of Christ and Ahasuerus , Oesterley was appointed royal Hanoverian court painter in 1844. In 1834 and 1844 he stayed in Wilhelm von Schadow's studio at the Düsseldorf Art Academy .

After 1852 Oesterley made numerous altarpieces a . a. for the church in Rosdorf , in Molzen near Uelzen and in Bad Iburg near Osnabrück. The large-format painting Christ as Redeemer was given to the Evangelical Lutheran Castle Church in Iburg in 1867 after King George V had promised the congregation a new altarpiece and new windows for the castle church during his visit in 1862. Oesterley's altarpiece was hung on the east wall of the church after the church was renovated from 1967 to 1969.

Oesterley is to be counted among the Nazarenes , his influences go beyond their narrow framework. He also made portraits and made cardboard boxes for glass paintings .

His daughters Marie Oesterley and Ilse Oesterley also became painters, as did his son Carl Oesterley junior .

His daughter Julie married the chemist Karl Kraut .

Oesterley's membership in a certain Masonic lodge could not be determined in more detail so far, but the proven membership in the Masonic Death Fund Association from 1865 inevitably leads to a lodge in Hanover. His father Georg Heinrich Oesterley was a member of the Black Bear Lodge .
