Eduard von Hagen
Eduard von Hagen (born July 24, 1834 in Erfurt ; † December 13, 1909 there ) was a German history and portrait painter .
Life
From 1850, Eduard von Hagen completed a three-year apprenticeship in the cabinet-making workshop of his father Adolf von Hagen. He then worked as a journeyman in Vienna , Paris and London . In 1856 he returned to Erfurt and worked as a master and artistic director in his father's furniture factory at Anger 30. From the early 1870s to 1877 he taught modeling at the Royal Erfurt Art School . In 1876 the Bartholomäus publishing house published his twenty-page book “The Drawing Lessons. A methodical guide ”.
Eduard von Hagen worked as a history and portrait painter from 1874. His teachers included Friedrich Preller the Elder and Karl Gussow in Weimar and Leon Pohle in Dresden . After his father sold the furniture factory, Eduard von Hagen devoted himself entirely to painting and opened his own studio in 1878 at Dammweg 1 in Erfurt.
On February 2, 1882, in a letter to Lord Mayor Richard Breslau , he suggested the establishment of a museum in Erfurt. As the nephew of the painter and draftsman Friedrich von Nerly , Eduard von Hagen brokered the city of Erfurt's extensive artistic estate, which Friedrich Nerly the Younger (1842–1919) presented to the city in 1883. This laid the foundation stone for the picture gallery of the Angermuseum , founded in 1886 . Eduard von Hagen became the first conservator of the Angermuseum on a part-time basis. On December 1, 1886, he was a founding member of the Association for Arts and Crafts . In 1891 he was a member of the Academy of Charitable Sciences in Erfurt . In 1908 he became an honorary member of the Erfurt artists' association "Drei Gleichen".
