Eduard Wilhelm Pose, 1846

Eduard Wilhelm Pose (born July 9, 1812 in Düsseldorf , † March 14, 1878 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Live and act

Pose was born as the son of the Düsseldorf decorative painter Ludwig Pose . As an adolescent, he accompanied his father on assignments to paint Rhenish palaces and castles. During a stay at Rheinstein Castle , which Pose's father had painted on behalf of Prince Friedrich of Prussia , the idea of ​​becoming a painter should have matured. From 1829 to 1836 Pose attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where he had closer contact with the painters Jakob Becker , Carl Friedrich Lessing and Alfred Rethel . From 1830 Pose was a student of the "class of performing artists". From 1832 to 1833 he went through the "landscape class" of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer . The student lists for the winter semester of 1832/1833 confirmed that he had “significant” talents, “pleasant” hard work and “good” behavior. In 1831 he made his debut in Düsseldorf with a “small landscape” acquired by Prince Wilhelm of Prussia . His first landscapes depicted areas in the Hunsrück and the Eifel , reminiscent of similar compositions by Lessing in tone, mood and arrangement.

Together with Andreas Achenbach and others, Pose left the Düsseldorf Academy in 1836, probably due to conflicts with the academic leadership claim of its director Schadow , and went to Munich . There the painter Carl Rottmann employed him in the execution of his cycle of Greek landscapes. The outbreak of cholera made him move to Frankfurt am Main, where he painted Burg Eltz in 1836 . In 1836/1837 Pose was one of the painters who were exhibited with great success in the Brühlsche Galerie in Dresden . Returning to Munich in 1837/1838, he painted the castle in Tyrol , which caused a sensation at an exhibition in Brussels in 1839 and was bought by Leopold I of Belgium . He traveled to the Salzburg region, Tyrol (1837), Belgium (1839) and France (Paris, 1839) as well as several times to Italy (1842–1845, 1849, 1856), where he lived primarily in Rome , but also in southern Italy, stayed in Sicily and Florence (1849). The experience of the vastness and generosity of Italian landscapes led Pose to abandon earlier models. Between 1838 and 1842 he lived mainly in Düsseldorf. During this time he lived with the builder Max Joseph Custodis at Schwanenmarkt 19 in Carlstadt , the husband of his sister Elisabeth, and together with other artists from the Düsseldorf School he went on trips to picturesque sights in the Rhine Province , such as Lochmühle near Mayschoss in the Ahr Valley . From 1845 he settled in Frankfurt am Main, where he joined a group of artists around the painter Philipp Veit . In later years he belongs to the painters' colony in Kronberg im Taunus .

Lady of Frankfurt , painting by Gustave Courbet , 1858

In Frankfurt, Pose and his wife Pauline, nee. Klotz know the French painter Gustave Courbet . Courbet probably portrayed Pauline in the painting Dame von Frankfurt (Dame de Francfort, Lady on the Terrace) in 1858 . In this case, there is much to suggest that the figure next to Pauline, which was later painted over, should represent her husband, Eduard Wilhelm Pose. Because of the overpainting, there is speculation about a love affair between Pauline and Courbet.

Pose is considered one of the most important landscape painters of the Düsseldorf school. Until his death, Pose remained committed to a style of composition rooted in Romanticism , which was based on the models Carl Friedrich Lessing and Johann Wilhelm Schirmer. He prepared his pictures through careful studies of nature.
