Christian Adam Landenberger (born April 7, 1862 in Ebingen , † February 13, 1927 in Stuttgart ) was an impressionist painter and professor at the Stuttgart Art Academy . Landenberger is best known for his landscapes.

Life

Christian Landenberger was born in Ebingen, the second of nine children of Christian Adam Landenberger and Anna Maria Landenberger, née Glunz. From 1879 he received artistic training at the Stuttgart Art School . From 1883 to 1887 he studied at the Munich Academy, where a new style of painting had prevailed since the middle of the 19th century, which led to a school of open-air painters. His first public exhibition at the Munich International Art Exhibition followed in 1890, and two years later he became a founding member of the Munich Secession and exhibited regularly until 1916. In 1895 he founded a private painting school, between 1899 and 1905 he worked as a drawing teacher at the women's academy of the Munich Artists' Association . The Stuttgart Academy appointed him in 1905 “to the newly established professorship for 'technical painting' in the budget [of the year]”. Christian Adam Landenberger was a member of the German Association of Artists . He died on February 13, 1927 in Stuttgart. He found his final resting place in the forest cemetery there .

In 1973, on the initiative of the nephew Hans Landenberger, the "Christian Landenberger Society" was founded, which dissolved again in 1978.

Style and technology

At the beginning of his development, Landenberger painted realistic signs of the milieu in dark tones. After 1890 his pictures got more brightness, with the complete abandonment of local colors, with applied lights and broad brushstrokes. Christian Landenberger is considered a pioneer of German open-air painting . From 1919 Landenberger discovered etching for himself, with which he preferred to execute religious motifs.

Motifs

  • Lake Shore (1913)

  • Bathing boys, Dingelsdorf I (1913)

  • Harem scene (1913)

Landenberger painted in the valley of the Upper Danube (especially in and near Gutenstein ), in the Black Forest , on the Swabian Alb , on Lake Constance , on the Ammersee , in Norway , on the island of Sylt and on the Dutch North Sea coast. He preferred to paint open-air motifs, but still lifes, interiors, allegorical and religious representations are also part of Landenberger's works. From 1893 to 1915 he dealt with the motif of the "bathing boys".
