Christian Friedrich Traugott Duttenhofer

Portrait of Christian Duttenhofer from the hand of an unknown artist (1804)

Christian Friedrich Traugott Duttenhofer (born August 4, 1778 in Gronau , † April 16, 1846 in Heilbronn ) was a German engraver . In his day he was best known for his landscape engravings, most of which he made from third-party templates and published as single sheets or book illustrations. His wife was the silhouette artist Luise Duttenhofer and his son the copper engraver Anton Duttenhofer .

Life

Christian Duttenhofer was born on August 4, 1778 in Gronau as the son of the Protestant pastor Christian Friedrich Duttenhofer and his wife Johanna Christiane Duttenhofer. Hummel (1752–1814) born. His brother Carl (Rudolph Heinrich) Duttenhofer (1784–1805), who was six years his junior, studied architecture and died at the young age of 21 in Rome. Two other siblings born before Christian died in infancy. One year after Christian's birth, his father was called to Heilbronn as a preacher, appointed as the first dean of Württemberg in 1803 and as superintendent of general in 1810. Christian's center of life remained in the city of Heilbronn until his marriage in 1804.

Childhood and youth

Already in his childhood and youth, Duttenhofer laid "the foundation stone for his scientific and artistic training, because he felt an irresistible affection for painting and drawing, and especially copperplate engraving, and soon distinguished himself in later art." In his youth he went to further training to Stuttgart, where he only stayed for a short time because he “found that he had too few opportunities to learn something here”.

Studies and career entry

After his stay in Stuttgart (it is not known when and how long) Duttenhofer went to Dresden. There he studied at the art academy as a student of the landscape painter Johann Christian Klengel , with whom he also took drawing lessons. He eagerly visited the famous picture gallery and the copper engraving room , where he could train himself with the old masters. In 1802 at the latest, earlier, he switched to the Vienna Art Academy to continue his studies there.

In 1803 and 1804 he stayed in Paris (how long is not known), where he engraved some sheets for the Le Musée Français reproduction engravings on behalf of his sponsor, the Paris-based German engraver Johann Georg Wille .

marriage

On July 29, 1804, at the age of 26, Duttenhofer married his two years older cousin Luise Duttenhofer born in Heilbronn . Hummel from Stuttgart (Christian's mother was a sister of Luise's father Georg Bernhard Hummel (1741–1779)).

For the couple's life together, see: Luise Duttenhofer, Romreise and Luise Duttenhofer, Leben in Stuttgart .

Working life

According to some sources, Duttenhofer was appointed professor at the Stuttgart Art School in 1809 . However, the art school was not founded until 1829 and Duttenhofer's application for a position in 1830 was rejected. On the other hand, he is referred to as a professor in contemporary documents. One must therefore assume that he was employed as a professor or teacher at another school, also known as an art school.

Duttenhofer was a hard-working and capable reproduction engraver and was able to secure a decent living for his family. He did many single sheets and many reproduction stitches, especially for travel guides and similar books. In 1809 he stayed again in Paris and engraved a few more sheets for Le Musée Français . In 1820 he traveled to Paris again, this time with Sulpiz Boisserée , for whose Cologne cathedral work he had engraved two sheets and who was completing his work in Paris. After the death of his wife in 1829, Duttenhofer was hardly active professionally, at least no datable works are known from the 1830s and 1840s except for a panorama map of the Neckar published in 1842 , which he engraved together with his colleague Theodor Rausche from Heilbronn .

Last years of life

In 1834, five years after the death of his wife, Duttenhofer sold the house at Casernenstrasse 10 in Stuttgart to the literary critic Wolfgang Menzel and rented an apartment at Hospitalstrasse 14. In the same year he finally moved back to his old home in Heilbronn Fleiner Straße 22. Little is known about Duttenhofer's years in Heilbronn. His son Anton , an engraver like himself, died in 1843 at the young age of 31. Together with him and later alone he visited the poet-doctor Justinus Kerner in the Kernerhaus in Weinsberg . By the way, in 1835 Duttenhofer acted as one of several respected and therefore credible witnesses to document the ghostly apparitions of the imprisoned ghost Seer Katharina Eslingerin, about which the "Oberamtsarzt zu Weinsberg" Justinus Kerner published his book about phenomena from the nocturnal realms of nature in 1836 Series of witnesses confirmed by the court published. Theobald Kerner , Justinus Kerner's son, remembered 51 years later: Duttenhofer "had withdrawn from the residence in Heilbronn at an old age and lived there quietly and modestly, but not without dear friends [...]."

Theobald Kerner reports further: “My father was also happy when he saw him, but this has seldom happened recently; It was said that he had become ill and shy of people. ”Duttenhofer suffered from incurable cancer of the tongue, and when he asked Justinus Kerner for his medical opinion on his last visit to confirm the hopelessness of his situation, he“ turned pale and silent ”. Probably out of "desperation" due to the daily pain and fear that he would starve to death, Duttenhofer shot himself with a pistol on the way back from Weinsberg to Heilbronn. According to the Evangelical Book of the Dead of the city of Heilbronn, he died by "suicide by shooting", "probably on April 8th, only found in the forest on the 20th". Theobald Kerner, on the other hand, claims, without specifying a date: “An hour later [after Duttenhofer's visit to Kerner] the news came to the town that an old man with white hair was lying dead under an oak in the forest upstairs.” June 1846 gave as the date of death April 16, 1846 without a source, which was adopted in all subsequent publications. According to the death register, the funeral took place on April 21, 1846 in Heilbronn.

Two years after Duttenhofer's death, in 1848, his estate was auctioned off on February 16, 1848 in Leipzig . One must assume that it was "scattered in all the winds" at that time, at least nothing is known about the auction and who bought what. His work (like his curriculum vitae) can only be reconstructed on the basis of external testimonials. In particular, there is a lack of sketchbooks, which he with some probability, e.g. B. during his stay in Rome, and we do not know of any sketches or drawings in which he portrayed his wife or children.

The drawer

Only a few samples of his graphic work are known: two landscape drawings from 1809, which he gave to the poet Friedrich von Matthisson for his family book, two Urach landscapes , probably created around 1800 , which he drew and engraved himself, of which only the engravings have survived , and two unspecified drawings that were shown in the first Stuttgart art exhibition in 1812.

The engraver

The early years. Duttenhofer was a very productive and capable reproduction engraver and engraved many sheets of paper based on the models of other artists, as single sheets, for series of views or to illustrate books. His earliest known engravings are works for a pocket calendar , for which he made eleven articles in Sedez format (not quite DIN A6) between 1799 and 1802 . The early sheets also include the two Urach landscapes, which are said to have been created around 1800, and two copperplate engravings that he made in 1802 while studying at the Vienna Art Academy: La Solitude (Die Einsamkeit) after Richard Wilson and an applauding mountain landscape after Annibale Carracci .

The main creative period. Between 1802 and 1815 he provided sheets for an Austrian series of views by the painter Martin von Molitor and three Austrian travel guides by Joseph August Schultes . He must have met both Molitor and Schultes during his time at the Academy in Vienna. In 1803 and 1804 and then again in 1809 Duttenhofer stayed in Paris and engraved eight large sheets for the magnificent work of the Musée Français . The Domenichino sheet was created in 1803 and was published in the first volume of the work in the same year. When and where he pricked the remaining leaves is unknown.

In 1810 he engraved two sheets for Alexander von Humboldt's Picturesque Views of the Cordillera and Monuments of American Peoples . In the same year he began his work for the Cologne Cathedral Works Sulpiz Boisserées , and in 1811 he delivered the first print of the sheet Average of the Choir . In 1820 he traveled with Boisserée to Paris, where his two large-format sheets for the cathedral were given the finishing touches by French top engravers. In 1823 and 1824 the two deliveries of the cathedral work, which contained Duttenhofer's sheets. He seems to have regarded these two engravings as his masterpieces, even though “poor Duttenhofer”, as Sulpiz Boisserée reports, also experienced the “humiliation” in Paris that others were revising his sheets and that he had to “completely” see that he was the French top artists "by no means equal".

The work for the Musée Français, for Alexander von Humboldt and the contributions to Boisserée's cathedral work earned Duttenhofer the reputation of a respected engraver and a high level of awareness. While he had only engraved landscapes before the cathedral works, he was now also in great demand as an architectural engraver and received follow-up orders for architectural views (engravings from Nuremberg , Prague and Bamberg buildings).

In 1815 he provided 26 engravings for the Sicilian journey of the Livonian landscape painter Carl Gotthard Grass , whom he probably met in Rome in 1805 after his return from his journey to Sicily. For the Nürnberger Taschenbuch from 1819 and 1822 Duttenhofer engraved six more engravings and between 1820 and 1826 three highly regarded landscapes after Claude Lorrain .

Finale. Towards the end of the twenties things became quiet around Duttenhofer, at least no other works by him have come to light, apart from a panorama map of the Neckar published in 1842 , which he engraved together with Theodor Rausche . It seems that after the death of his wife in 1829 he more or less retired from the profession.

Single sheets

In addition to articles for books and view series, Duttenhofer also engraved a number of single sheets.

Others

In 1810 Duttenhofer announced the series of books, Ideas for Vases , which "has the purpose of providing art lovers with pleasant enjoyment by means of manifold fantasies in the field of ornamentation". It can be assumed that his wife, if she was not the initiator of the series, at least contributed drafts to the series. Two of the planned six issues appear to have appeared. The issue series is not listed in the KVK ( Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog ), and so far no copies of the issue series have appeared anywhere else.

reception

Duttenhofer was mainly a reproduction engraver in the landscape and architecture subject and engraved foreign templates for duplication and distribution. He was also a draftsman, but since only a few of his drawings are known, it is hardly possible to judge the creative part of his work. They were apparently ignored by contemporaries, at least there was no public news about them.

One of his first works, a mountain landscape based on Annibale Carracci, was said to have “won the general applause of connoisseurs” and “suddenly made a name for our compatriot”. His participation in an international team of 148 engravers on the major project of the Musée Français continued to contribute to his reputation as a renowned engraver. His collaboration on Alexander von Humboldt's Cordilleras was just as respectable , and if Humboldt praised the "artist" Duttenhofer as "excellent" ("but a little expensive") to his publisher Johann Friedrich Cotta , this judgment will have spread elsewhere. Duttenhofer's most widely recognized work was the two large-format sheets for Boisserée's cathedral work. The Württembergischer Jahrbuch 1821 proclaimed national pride: "Duttenhofer has also finished the second large record for the cathedral work of Cölln and with his work worthy of German hard work before the high tribunal of the Paris art judges earned extraordinary praise and even admiration." And in the conversations dictionary of According to the latest time and literature from 1832: He “began [...] the large sheet for Boisserée's work on Cologne Cathedral [...], the first engraving of Gothic architecture executed on such a scale and probably also under D.'s work in every respect the most important ".

The first Stuttgart art exhibition took place in 1812. Duttenhofer showed "two accurate drawings based on nature and two beautifully engraved landscapes". At the third exhibition in 1824, “Mr. Duttenhofer, best known as a copper engraver “a copy after a small landscape by Claude Lorrain . The Boisseréesche Domwerk was also exhibited. “It aroused general admiration for the magnificence and beauty of its execution [...]. At the same time it contained the most important samples of a local copperplate engraver, who is as distinguished here in the architecture as he is in the landscape, we mean the sheets of Duttenhofer ”. Nothing is known of the other exhibitions in Stuttgart (1816, every three years from 1830).

In 1837 Georg Kaspar Nagler judged in his artist lexicon: “Duttenhofer is well known for several landscape copperplate engravings, which he supplied individually or for large works, such as Humboldt's Reisen, but especially for the French museum. In terms of architecture, too, he delivers excellently what his record for Dr. Boisserée's Cölner Domwerk proves. ”When Duttenhofer died, the Kunstblatt reported his death in three lines, with the remark that he had“ brought his life to 66 years ”(67 would have been correct). A detailed necrology such as that of his wife's death did not appear at all. Duttenhofer was included in biographical reference works during his lifetime, unlike his wife, who was either ignored or portrayed as insignificant compared to her husband, and he was also occasionally in the contemporary press, especially the Morgenzeitung in Stuttgart appreciated. Later he was forgotten, no scientific publication deals with him or his work. Since the rediscovery of Luise Duttenhofer at the beginning of the 20th century, and especially in the last few decades, there has been an increasing number of works on her, and Christian Duttenhofer is mentioned in passing as her husband and the not insignificant engraver of his time. He is only really known in the professional world, especially among art dealers and collectors, and his prints keep appearing on the market.
