Ernst Inden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Inden (born October 21, 1879 in Düsseldorf , † May 19, 1946 in Gemünd , Schleiden district ) was a German landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Inden, a son of the fittings manufacturer Wilhelm Inden, who was born in Olef , and his wife Gertrud, née Wolff, who was also born there, grew up in Düsseldorf. This is where his parents relocated their factory, which was initially located in Urft . After elementary school and high school, he attended the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts . On July 20, 1899, he enrolled at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . Until 1912, he studied painting there most recently in the master class of Eduard von Gebhardt . On November 28, 1919, he married Sybilla Katharina, née Nüßer (1896–1967), in Düsseldorf- Rath , who gave birth to their daughter Marielore (1922–1998) in Düsseldorf.

At the beginning of the 1920s he moved to Gemünd with his wife “Käthe” ​​and daughter, where he - like his younger brother Rudolf “Rudi” Inden (1897–1951) - made a name for himself as an “ Eifel painter ”. In the Great Depression indene parents lost most of their assets. This also worsened the economic situation in India. He and his family barely kept afloat with his pictures, but he benefited from the spa business that flourished in Gemünd in the 1930s.

Inden was friends with the landscape painters Albert Larres , Clemens Prüssen , Hubert Schlemmer (1862–1945) and Fritz von Wille .

Inden occasionally painted in oil and preferred painting with pastel chalk , often in shades of blue ("Inden blue"). As motifs for his open-air painting, he sought out landscapes from the greater area around Schleiden , Gemünd and Kall as well as the area near Daun , such as the Weinfelder Maar . The architectural sights that he painted included the Reifferscheid Castle , the Kronenburg , the Wildenburg and Schleiden Castle .

Inden was buried in 1946 in Düsseldorf- Unterrath .
