Ernst Hodel senior
Ernst Hodel senior (born February 8, 1852 in Thun ; † May 13, 1902 in Lucerne ) was a Swiss landscape painter and panorama artist .
Life
Enthusiastic about the seeming landscape of central Switzerland , the Bernese landscape painter Ernst Hodel senior moved to Lucerne around 1880, where he began working on large-format views of the Alps . For the purpose of a permanent exhibition he acquired in 1895 the building of the former lion monument museum park at Lucerne, where he and his son junior Ernst Hodel gradually realized by its own Alpine diorama, which finally, in 1901, a year before his death, under the name Alpineum opened .
In his younger years, Hodel shared a studio community with the famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler in the Münsingen area in the canton of Bern. He found his final resting place in the Friedental cemetery .
