Christian Ludwig Tümpel (born March 29, 1937 in Bielefeld , † September 9, 2009 in Bad Kissingen ) was a German art historian . He was professor of art history at Radboud University Nijmegen ( Netherlands ).

Life

The son of the Bauhaus artist Wolfgang Tümpel studied theology and philosophy at Bethel from 1958 to 1963 . With the support of a second scholarship from the Volkswagen Foundation, he studied art history and archeology in Heidelberg , Berlin and Hamburg from 1963 to 1968 , which he completed in 1968 with a doctorate on the iconography of Rembrandt's histories. In the same year he moved to London with his wife Astrid Tümpel (1944–2017) to do research at the Warburg Institute until 1969 as an annual scholarship .

In 1971 Tümpel received a call to the chair of Julius Held at Columbia University , but turned it down. Instead, he completed his second theological exam and went to the St. Matthew Congregation in Hamburg as a Protestant pastor . Here he founded the Art Forum Matthäus in 1973 , an academy with an art and cultural history program for the greater Hamburg area. In 1984 he was appointed professor at the University of Nijmegen (now RU), where he worked as a professor until 2002.

After his emeritus status (2002) Christian Tümpel returned to Ahrensburg near Hamburg, where he founded the Kunstforum Schlosskirche Ahrensburg Foundation in 2004 . As chairman of this association for adult education in art and church history, he was a. with the organization of lecture series and educational trips.

After a career in investment banking, his son Daniel works in the field of art finance and opened a sculpture park on the manor house in Schwante in 2020 .

Services

Tümpel was renowned worldwide for his groundbreaking research in the field of Dutch art of the 16th and 17th centuries. Among other things, one of his achievements is that the paintings of Rembrandt and his circle are readable again for today's viewer ( Martin Warnke ).

Tümpel proved that Rembrandt van Rijn based his compositions on the pictorial tradition that he was particularly familiar with through the graphics in his collection. In addition, he studied literary texts and translated them into a baroque visual language. Rembrandt's ingenious invention is evident in the processing of visual suggestions; Tümpel characterized Rembrandt's special accents, such as the reproduction of emotions, the suggestion of the narrative context, elimination, detachment and historicization.

According to Tümpel, the baroque themes are not developed in painting. Rather, the painters select certain topics from the encyclopedic flood of images of graphics and book illustration and only present them for the first time in their medium.

In addition to his teaching and research activities, Tümpel conceived numerous international exhibitions on baroque art and German sculpture of the 20th century and is represented with articles in the catalogs of many other exhibitions.

In 1971 Tümpel received the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences prize .
