Franz Deutmann
Franz Wilhelm Maria Deutmann (born March 27, 1867 in Zwolle , † July 18, 1915 in Blaricum ) was a Dutch painter and photographer from the Laren School .
Franz Deutmann was the son of the photographer Franz Wilhelm Heinrich Deutmann (1840-1906) and the brother of Herman Deutmann (1870-1926), also a well-known photographer. He studied as a painter with Jan Derk Huibers (1829-1919) and after a short stay in Germany from 1884 to 1887 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp with Charles Verlat . In 1891 he returned to Amsterdam and worked in his father's photo studio for a year.
In 1892 he moved to the artist colony in Laren , where he was influenced by impressionism. In 1896 he rented a studio on the Rozengracht Canal in Amsterdam. There he painted portraits, but also figures, outdoors or indoors. In 1903 Deutmann settled on a farm in Laren. Following the example of the Het Gooi painters, he brightened his palette.
In his later years, psychological difficulties forced him to continue working in his studio, where he created a number of floral still lifes in particular. From 1911 he lived at Eemnesserweg 19 in Blaricum in the “Heide-Weide” house, where several painters and writers later lived, including Victor van Vriesland. He died in Blaricum in 1915 at the age of 48.
Deutmann was a member of Arti et Amicitiae and Kunstenaarsvereniging Sint Lucas .
