Karl August Friedrich ("Fritz") Neuhaus (born April 3, 1852 in Elberfeld (now part of Wuppertal ), † September 5, 1922 in Düsseldorf ) was a German genre and history painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Festival in front of Kaiser Wilhelm I in the Malkasten on September 6, 1877 , mural in the council chamber of Düsseldorf City Hall , 1892–1896, depiction of the emperor and his entourage in the Malkasten-Haus performing a tableau vivant by Karl Hoff based on Wilhelm Camphausen's painting Blücher's crossing of the Rhine at Kaub
The little despot , 1886 (illustration from an exhibition catalog 1888)

Neuhaus grew up in less affluent circumstances in Elberfeld. After an apprenticeship with a lithographer in Barmen , he attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1873 to 1880 , where he attended painting classes first with Eduard Gebhardt and then with Wilhelm Sohn .

In 1878 he made his debut with the painting Ash Wednesday at the Berlin exhibition. At that time he had his studio in the Wunderbau on Pempelforter Strasse. In 1880, Neuhaus Bertha Amalie gave her marriage promise to Georgine Zilcher from Witzenhausen.

From 1884 he taught figural drawing and painting at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts , where he also maintained his studio. At the end of the 1880s, he was able to afford an apartment in the upper-class townhouse at Inselstrasse 26 in the Düsseldorf Hofgarten . In 1892 he took part in the competition to paint the Düsseldorf town hall . His design took third place and was implemented on a narrow side of the hall from 1894. The mural, which was destroyed in the Second World War, showed a festival scene from the visit of Kaiser Wilhelm I to the Malkasten artists' association .

In 1898 Neuhaus was awarded the title of professor . At the beginning of 1900 he lived at Rosenstrasse 52, in 1912 he moved into the newly built house at Prinz-Georg-Strasse 96 . The family member Carl Neuhaus (1881–1929), an art sculptor by profession, stayed on Rosenstrasse.

Like Theodor Rocholl and Johann Peter Theodor Janssen , Neuhaus was one of the most "loyal to the emperor" and of Wilhelminism in Düsseldorf art. In addition to the artists' association Malkasten , he belonged to the General German Art Cooperative .
