Konrad Gustav Süs , also Süß (born June 10, 1823 in Rumbeck , today Hessisch Oldendorf , † December 23, 1881 in Düsseldorf ), was a German painter , illustrator and children's book author.

Life

After attending grammar school in Rinteln , Süs studied painting at the Kassel Art Academy and later at the Städel Institute in Frankfurt am Main with professors Johann David Passavant and Jakob Becker . In order to secure his existence, he wrote children's fairy tales, which he illustrated himself. They met with great applause and some of them were translated into English and French. He also became known for his illustrations of the hedgehog rabbit story .

From 1848 to 1850 he painted studies and portraits at home. From 1850 he lived in Düsseldorf , where he attended the art academy under Karl Ferdinand Sohn until 1851 and opened his own studio in Jägerhofstrasse 13 in 1854 . In 1861 his son Wilhelm was born in Düsseldorf , who also became an artist. In the 1870s Süs lived in the house of the factory owner Müller Schadowstrasse 34 at the corner of Victoriastrasse and in 1875 he moved into the house at Rosenstrasse 28, where he lived until the end of his life.

In his pictures, Süs mostly depicted animals, mainly poultry. Some of his pictures, which are mostly based on a humorous basic idea, are widespread through color prints and photography, for example the motifs The First Thought and The Sermon of the Chicks .

Süs' private students included the German genre and portrait painter Hedwig Greve , the painter Maria Süs (probably his daughter), who married the pensioner Eduard Müller († before 1892) in 1881, and the Luxembourg portrait painter Thérèse Glaesener-Hartmann .
