Emil Doerstling
Emil Doerstling (born August 29, 1859 in Dramburg , Pomerania , † 1940 in Königsberg ) was a German painter .
Life
From 1881 he studied with Carl Steffeck and Emil Neide at the Königsberg Art Academy . He then went to school and taught from 1895 to 1901 as a drawing teacher at the old town high school in Königsberg. In 1897/98 he painted “Olympic Games” , “Wrestlers” and “Discus Throwers” for the auditorium . Then he came to the Löbenichtsche Realgymnasium , for which he painted ceiling paintings with scenes from Greek mythology . Study trips took him to Switzerland and Italy . He was often in the East Prussian artist colony of Nidden . He painted figurative and genre scenes, especially in oil ( “After the end of work” , 1890), East Prussian landscapes and altarpieces (church in the Pangritz colony in the Elbing district , 1893/94), still lifes and portraits of officers ( “Lieutenant General von Brese” , “General von Aster ” , 1894).
His main work was "Kant and his table companions" (1892) in the stairwell of the Albertinum , which Walter Simon (banker) gave to the city. Today it hangs in the Kant Museum in Königsberg Cathedral .
His painting “Prussian love happiness” , which was bought in 1992 by the German Historical Museum , came to fame in 2007 . Uncovering its history brought to light the unusual life of the Afro-German military musician Gustav Sabac el Cher .
Doerstling illustrated Eugen Gramberg's two-volume “Pilze der Heimat” (Leipzig 1913).
