Life
At the age of 17 years, Wendling wrote at the Dusseldorf Art Academy , where he in the class of Eugen Dücker the landscape painting studied. From 1884 to 1886 he was Dücker's master class student . At the age of 24, Wendling embarked for the United States to join a colony of German painters in Milwaukee who produced panoramas and circular paintings of the American Civil War for the American Panorama Company of the German businessman William Wehner . A photo from 1886 shows him in front of the circular painting The Battle of Chattanooga . In 1887, Wendling ran the New Academy of Fine Arts art school in Detroit together with Paul Wilhelmi and Otto von Ernst . After breaking off a study trip through Norway in 1888, he persuaded Ernst Eitner to come with him to work in Gothmund , where he had painted for the first time in 1884. Since 1889, Wendling - together with Heinrich Hermanns , Olof Jernberg , Helmuth Liesegang , August Deusser , Otto Heichert and Arthur Kampf - was one of the protagonists of the Düsseldorf “St. Lukasclubs ”(also“ Lucasclub ”), whose aim was to revive printmaking . In a competition for the design of the council chamber in Bochum, he won third prize in 1895 for a design he had developed for a monumental mural together with Friedrich Klein-Chevalier . From 1893 to 1895 the painter Max Clarenbach was a pupil of Wendling in Düsseldorf . In later years Wendling lived near Braunschweig .
