Friedrich Heunert (* 1808 in Soest ; † November 27, 1876 in Düsseldorf ) was a German landscape painter and representative of the Düsseldorf School of Painting .

Life

Friedrich Heunert was trained as a landscape painter at the Düsseldorf Art Academy , which he attended from 1829 to 1839, under the direction of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer , in whose landscape class he stayed from 1830 to 1838. In 1844 he was a co-founder and then a long-time member of the board of the Association of Düsseldorf Artists for mutual support and assistance . He worked for a long time as treasurer at the Malkasten artists' association , which he also co-founded in 1848 and of which he was a member from 1848 to 1854 and from 1857 to 1876. In 1860 he was one of the representatives of the board of directors in the negotiations for the acquisition of the Jacobi garden for the association. He was also recognized as a drawing and painting teacher in Düsseldorf, including by Princess Luise of Prussia , who lived at Eller Castle and who copied some of his pictures. Heunert's daughter Adele married the painter Hermann Carl Hempel in 1877 . Friedrich Heunert was buried in the Golzheimer Friedhof in Düsseldorf; his and his family's tomb is still there.

Works and exhibitions

His paintings and watercolors predominantly depict landscapes and views of localities from the immediate vicinity of Düsseldorf, the Middle Rhine Valley , Westphalia and the Bergisches Land . His carefully executed works are almost always of a small format and painted in a cheerful mood. He was regularly represented at the large painting exhibitions of the Kunstverein in Bremen , for the first time at the third exhibition in 1843, and for the last time in the year of his death at the twentieth large painting exhibition. In addition to exhibitions in Düsseldorf, he was also represented in Berlin (1832–1868), Breslau (1869), Königsberg, Leipzig and Lübeck (1850–1854). In 1833 the Düsseldorfer Kunstverein acquired Heunert's Landscape with the Tower , in 1863 the counterparts Abend und Morgen , and in 1865 a lot from the Düsseldorf area to be raffled off to the members of the association.

A caricature by Heunert, by Wilhelm Camphausen , and his portrait, painted by Carl Huebner (1850), are in the collection of the Malkasten Artists' Association in Düsseldorf.
