Franz Wallischeck
Franz Wallischeck (born January 3, 1865 in Wiesloch , † February 23, 1941 in Karlsruhe ) was a German painter. In particular, he created landscape paintings, but was also involved in the painting of some churches. He founded the Hollerbach painters' colony .
Life
He was the son of the decoration and church painter Sebastian Wallischeck (1827-1883) and studied at the School of Applied Arts in Munich and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe. Study trips took him to Rome and Florence, the Netherlands and Belgium, Paris and London. As early as 1890, he called himself “painter” and set up a studio in Karlsruhe. At the same time he was looking for the closeness to nature that he found in Hollerbach , where he rented a small house and founded the Hollerbach painters' colony there. In Buchen , which Hollerbach has been a part of since 1975, a street is named after him.
His brothers Joseph and Karl were no less artistically gifted, but worked particularly in his father's decorative painting business, although oil paintings have also been preserved from them.
plant
His major works include the painting of the Pankratiuskirche in Mudau (1897/1998), the participation in the painting of the St. Boniface Church in Heidelberg (1903), the painting of the Sacred Heart Church in Mannheim and some of the ceiling painting in the renovation of the church of St. Lawrence in Wiesloch (1907). Otherwise he mainly painted landscapes.
