Christian Friedrich Gille
Christian Friedrich Gille (born March 20, 1805 in Ballenstedt am Harz , † July 9, 1899 in Wahnsdorf near Dresden ) was a German painter , draftsman , engraver and lithographer .
Life
Gille studied at the Dresden Art Academy first landscape copper engraving with Johann Gottfried Abraham Frenzel , then oil painting , from 1827 to 1830 as a student of Johan Christian Clausen Dahl . He then worked as a painter, draftsman, engraver and lithographer in Dresden. From 1830 to 1833 he worked as a copper engraver for the Saxon Art Association.
As a landscape painter (first works from 1829, increasingly from around 1850), he acquired the reputation of a German corot . His works are characterized by a broad, powerful brushstroke. In his pictures he captured everyday situations. Gille lived in Dresden, but from about 1880 had spent part of the year in Wahnsdorf, where he also died, last mentally deranged .
Since his impressionistic-looking pictures, practiced through nature studies, were ahead of their time, Gille's work was not appreciated until after his death.
