Georg Hahn (painter)
Georg Bernhard Hahn (born July 12, 1841 in Nuremberg , † October 2, 1889 in Munich ) was a German landscape and genre painter.
Life
Georg Hahn studied at the Munich Royal Art Academy , which he entered on April 27, 1861. He learned copper engraving from Johann Leonhard Raab and Julius Thaeter . He attended Wilhelm von Diez's painting school . During his studies he was in close contact with the Corps Germania Munich , which made him an honorary philistine in 1866.
In the early 1870s he worked as an animal and landscape painter and created some pictures based on religious motifs. With the beginning of the 1880s he turned to the representation of the children's world, which developed into his particular strength. The art and literary historian Hyacinth Holland saw Hahn as a painter on a par with Ludwig Richter , Oskar Pletsch , Benjamin Vautier and Albert Hendschel .
Hahn died of a stroke at the age of 48. The Munich artists' cooperative , represented by Gustav Freiherr von Bechtolsheim , the artist society Allotria and the Corps Germania Munich paid his last respects at the grave, as Hyacinth Holland noted in his Hahn biography.
