Emil Doepler the Younger (born October 29, 1855 in Munich , † December 21, 1922 in Berlin ) was a German painter, craftsman, commercial artist and heraldist.
Life
Emil Doepler was the son of Carl Emil Doepler , who became known as the head of the costume design for the Bayreuth Festival . Emil Doepler the Elder J. married his former student Elli Hirsch in 1909 . The marriage remained childless.
Doepler devoted himself to art as a teenager. His father, who had also made a name for himself as a painter and illustrator, was initially his teacher. Emil specialized as a draftsman and painter of heraldic and handicraft motifs, but also created landscape pictures and still lifes in different techniques. From 1870 he studied at the teaching institute of the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin . From 1873 he was a freelance illustrator . In 1876/77 he studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin. In 1881 he became a teacher and in 1889 a professor at the teaching establishment of the Kunstgewerbemuseum. From 1898 he headed the committee for awarding the prizes for the designs of Stollwerck collectibles in the competitions organized by Ludwig Stollwerck .
In the three emperor year he drew the coat of arms for the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels . He made Habent sua fata libelli the motto of the German book trade. Emil Doepler designed enamel signs and collecting pictures for Stollwerck . These commercial graphics were printed in various art magazines. In 1898 Ludwig Stollwerck founded the “Committee for the procurement and monitoring of artistic Stollwerck images” together with Emil Doepler, Woldemar Friedrich, Bruno Schmitz and Franz Skarbina. The artists acted not only as consultants, but also as judges for competitions. The competitions, the high prize money and the prestigious committee were supposed to give the Stollwerck pictures that were added to the products a higher artistic value. In this way Ludwig Stollwerck succeeded in attracting well-known artists for the later collector's pictures. In 1899, Doepler designed several variations of the company name "Stollwerck" in a new Art Nouveau font on behalf of Ludwig Stollwerck. His student Elli Hirsch later combined the lettering with the "three-crown star" to create the new Stollwerck company logo.
