Self-portrait of Ernst Bader

Ernst Christian Bader (born November 14, 1860 in Horkheim , † October 6, 1915 in Heilbronn ) was a German painter and royal Württemberg court decoration painter.

Life

Studies

Even as a child, Ernst Bader knew how to draw peasants, animals, etc. in a true-to-life manner, so that his parents chose the painting profession for him. After Ernst had attended school and received a good certificate from the new teacher Veitinger, his father sent him to apprenticeship to the master painter Rendle after confirmation in Heilbronn, where he successfully completed an apprenticeship from 1874 to 1877. After his apprenticeship and a short period as an assistant, he registered at the art school in Stuttgart. After attending the Stuttgart art school, he went on trips with his friend and colleague Gais from Ulm. Gais later founded a painting business and a painting school in Berlin. The two went to Italy via Landeck, Murr and Innsbruck, where they studied the art treasures in Naples , views of Vesuvius and the ancient Roman villas with their wall paintings in Pompeii . These motifs filled her sketchbooks and folders. From 1881 to 1883 he did his military service with the 122nd Infantry Regiment. He then worked as the first person to work for the decorative painter Christian Kämmerer in Stuttgart. In 1885 Bader traveled again to Italy, where he did his studies in Rome. So he studied the works of art in the churches of Rome. Bader then visited the world exhibitions, so he was both at the world exhibition in Paris, as well as the one in Brussels and the one in Milan (1911).

family

He was born as the seventh child of Jakob Bader. When Ernst worked for the decorative painter Christian Kämmerer, he met his future wife, who looked after the children in the Kämmerer house. The mother of his beloved only allowed him to marry the daughter when he gave her a copy of Christ from the collection of the Vatican as a wedding gift. On November 4, 1886, Bader was able to marry the girl. They lived in the back building of Frankfurter Strasse 36a, which their father Jakob Bader had helped to create. The front building at Frankfurter Strasse 36 was never built. Since Ernst Bader lived with his wife in Heilbronn, on March 15, 1892, he renounced the Horkheim citizenship, which is preserved in the Heilbronn city archive. The connection resulted in seven children, three boys and four girls. Bader's widow died in 1943. All three sons became painters, but never achieved the artistic importance of their father. Of the three sons, the middle son died first in 1913, followed by the youngest son Max in 1935; five years later, on February 4, 1940, the eldest son Ernst died in Heilbronn. They were all buried in the family grave in Heilbronn. Of the four girls, Eugenie died first in 1954 in Göppingen. Elsa (now Elsa Hägele) and Maria lived at Sofienstraße 25 in Stuttgart in 1957, while the youngest emigrated to New York.

school

A large training company with 50 to 70 employees was set up at Frankfurter Straße 36, and up to seven apprentices worked in this recognized training company. including Paul Reustle from Horkheim, who was also taught portraiture by Ernst Bader. When Bader met Paul Reustle's wife by chance in Milan in 1911, he gave her an oil painting that Bader had created shortly before as a souvenir.
