Georg Galland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Galland , actually George (born January 19, 1857 in Posen , † September 8, 1915 in Charlottenburg ) was a German art historian .

Life

Galland first briefly studied architecture at the Bauakademie in Berlin and then from 1877 art history at the University of Berlin . Galland was 1882 in Tübingen Dr. phil. PhD . In 1883 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Hanover , where he taught as a private lecturer in the history of architecture until 1889 , and in 1887/88 he taught at the University of Amsterdam .

In 1887 Galland published a series of articles in the Hannoversche Tageblatt about the grave sculptures found in Hanover from a cultural-historical and artistic point of view. The series was later donated as a special copy by city director Ferdinand Halthoff . In his work The Hanoverian Sculptors of the Renaissance, however, Carl Schuchhardt opposed the artist attributions made by Galland on the basis of photo comparisons of his own, at least partially different findings.

From 1889 to 1907 Galland taught Dutch Renaissance at the Technical University of Berlin , initially as a private lecturer, and in 1897 he was appointed professor. From 1905 he was professor for art history and literature at the Academic University of Fine Arts in Berlin.
