Carl Saltzmann (born September 23, 1847 in Berlin , † January 14, 1923 in Potsdam ) was a German landscape and marine painter.

Life

Carl Saltzmann, son of the shoemaker Johann Friedrich Saltzmann, made an apprenticeship as a goldsmith from 1862–1866. In 1867/68 he attended the Berlin Art Academy . 1868–1871 he was a student of Hermann Eschke . Louis Douzette and Walter Moras also emerged from his studio for landscape painting . In 1872 Carl Saltzmann moved into a studio in Düsseldorf and studied around the Düsseldorf Academy until 1875 .

In 1877 he opened a studio in Berlin. Saltzmann caught the eye of Crown Princess Victoria in 1878 , who bought a painting of the port of Kolberg from him and chose him as a companion for her son Heinrich's two-year trip around the world, which began in the same year . This trip took place on the corvette Prinz Adalbert . It circumnavigated South America and South Africa and culminated in Japan.

In 1884/1885, at the request of Prince Heinrich, he gave painting and drawing lessons to Prince Heinrich and his brother Wilhelm , which the Kaiser pleasantly mentions in his memoirs. Immediately after his accession to the throne, Wilhelm II took him on his first trip to the north to Russia, Sweden and Denmark in 1888 . For the picture he painted after the journey, Arrival of the Emperor in Kronstadt , he received the Knight's Cross of the House Order of Hohenzollern on the trip to Tromsø in 1889 . Two paintings were hung in the Berlin Palace . In 1890 he had the architects Ende & Böckmann build a villa in Neubabelsberg near Potsdam , Luisenstraße 10 (now Virchowstraße 27).

At the emperor's request, Saltzmann illustrated the description of the trips from 1889–1892, which Paul Güßfeldt had made opulently. From 1889 to 1914 Wilhelm was on Nordland voyages every July, that is 26 times. In 1889, 1891 and 1907 they drove to the North Cape. Saltzmann took part in at least 22 of the trips. In 1894 he became a teacher, in 1896 professor at the Berlin Art Academy, 1904–1912 he was chairman of the Berliner Künstler e. V.

Saltzmann was married to Clara Schulze. He was one of the preferred selection of contemporary artists that the “Committee for the Procurement and Evaluation of Stollwerck Pictures” suggested to the Cologne chocolate producer Ludwig Stollwerck to commission them with drafts.

Saltzmann died in Potsdam in 1923 and was buried in Potsdam-Klein-Glienicke .
