Carl Wuttke (born January 3, 1849 in Trebnitz , Silesia, † July 4, 1927 in Munich ) was a German landscape and architecture painter.

Life

Wuttke studied from 1871 to 1873 at the Art Academy in Berlin , 1873 with Angelo II. Quaglio (1829-1890) in Munich and from 1877 to 1880 with Eugen Dücker at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf . In 1874 he went to Italy on foot, where he stayed until 1876. Later he traveled extensively to Italy including Sardinia and Sicily, where many of his pictures were taken, as well as Andalusia in 1880 and Norway in 1894. From 1885 he lived in Munich.

He also visited unusual destinations for German painters, namely Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Sudan), the Sinai and in 1893 the USA. From 1897 to 1899 he traveled around the world, which took him to China and Japan in 1898. From the Far East he delivered pictures for Kaiser Wilhelm II , which were hung in the silver hall of the Berlin City Palace .

His landscapes are often animated with genre scenes. In the earlier years he devoted himself to the reproduction of fine nuances of lighting, but also developed a tendency towards bright colors, which later determined his work more. His style of painting seems spontaneous and fleeting, without abandoning himself entirely to the task of form like the Secessionists , which is why his work is also counted as a “pre-impressionist style”.
