Life

Georg Dehn studied from January 21, 1869 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich with Arthur von Ramberg . After completing his studies, he stayed in Munich and worked as a vedute painter. On his study trips he found motifs in Nuremberg , Swabia , Strasbourg , on Lake Constance , in Tyrol ( Sterzing and Meran ), Verona (Piazza delle Erbe) and Venice . Typical of his style is the use of soft yellow-orange and ocher-colored earth tones and the animation of the architecture through figure staffage.

In 1884 he published a theoretical treatise on perspective in architectural painting.

He was chairman of the Munich artists' cooperative and, in 1896, of the "Luitpold Group". For King Ludwig II of Bavaria , he carried out several stage designs and designs for the singers' hall in Neuschwanstein Castle ( Parzival legend).

Through his daughter Johanna, who married his youngest son Friedrich Maurer in 1903, he was related by marriage to the family of the professor and legal historian Konrad Maurer, who died in 1902 .
