Franz Triebsch
Franz Triebsch (born March 14, 1870 in Berlin ; † December 16, 1956 there ) was a German landscape and portrait painter.
Life
Franz Triebsch was a student of Max Koner at the Berlin Academy . In 1899 he received the Grand State Prize , which included a one-year Rome scholarship and a stay at the Villa Strohl-Fern . Around 1900 Triebsch was appointed professor and from 1906 he was a member of the Berlin Artists' Association .
At that time he married Eva Kretzschmer, in 1905 he came to Ahrenshoop with his family for the first time . In 1910 he had a summer house built there based on his own designs and became a member of the Ahrenshoop artists' colony . He always spent the summer months on the Baltic coast, where artist friends such as Richard Eschke , Leo von König , Carl Kayser-Eichberg and Fritz Koch-Gotha were among his guests.
Since the beginning of the 20th century he has worked as a portrait painter, mainly for important personalities from politics and the military. During the Third Reich, Triebsch was regularly represented at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich with portraits of Hitler and other leading National Socialists. In 1940 he was awarded the Goethe Medal for Art and Science on his 70th birthday . In Ahrenshoop, not only portraits of celebrities but also impressive landscapes were created. At the end of the war, he was still on the God-gifted list .
After the death of his wife Eva in 1926, Franz Triebsch went on a study trip to South America. In 1927 he married Johanna Becker for the second time. In the late 1930s he had several cataract operations; he went completely blind in 1941. In 1943 his Berlin studio was destroyed in an air raid. Ahrenshoop now became permanent residence, and Triebsch did not move back to Berlin-Charlottenburg until 1948.
Franz Triebsch died in Berlin in December 1956 at the age of 86. His grave is in the state's own cemetery in Heerstraße in Berlin-Westend (grave location: 7-A).
