Life

Hans Frederik Gude studied from 1838 to 1841 at the Royal Drawing School in Oslo with Johannes Flintoe . He continued his training in 1841 in Düsseldorf with Andreas Achenbach . In 1842 he entered the Düsseldorf Academy , where he studied with Johann Wilhelm Schirmer until 1844 . The subsequent training, until 1846, took place in his private studio . After a study trip to Norway with the painter Adolph Tidemand , he spent the years 1848 to 1850 in Christiania. On May 25, 1850, in Vang, Hedmark , he married Betzy Charlotte Juliane Anker (1830-1912), a granddaughter of the Norwegian politician Carsten Anker . In 1851 Karl Ferdinand son portrayed his young wife. The painting is in the Museum Kunstpalast . Betzy Gude gave birth to eight children, among them the later portrait painter Nils Gude . When he returned to Düsseldorf in 1852, the Berlin Academy awarded him a gold medal.

In 1854 he succeeded his teacher Johann Wilhelm Schirmer as professor of landscape painting at the Düsseldorf Academy. The position was vacated by Schirmer's appointment as director of the newly founded Karlsruhe Art School by the Baden Prince Regent and later Grand Duke Friedrich I. In 1861 he gave up the professorship and spent the years from 1862 to 1864 in Betws-y-Coed in Wales . He often stayed at the Chiemsee in Upper Bavaria, for example in 1853, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1871 and 1872. He created numerous landscapes there. His tutor was Oswald Achenbach , his successor on the chair at the Düsseldorf Art Academy .

After the death of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer in 1863, Gude was again appointed as his successor in 1864 for the management of the Karlsruhe Academy. He held this position until 1870, after which he taught from 1874 to 1880 as a professor of landscape painting at the same academy. In 1880 his friend and former student Anton von Werner appointed him to the Berlin Academy to head the master class for landscape painting. So Hans Fredrik Gude moved to Berlin and bought in the Königin-Augusta-Str. 51 a house for himself and his son-in-law, the sculptor Otto Lessing . He had married Gude's eldest daughter Sigrid on September 21, 1875 and ran a flourishing studio for decorative building sculpture . Gude led his master class until 1901 and was appointed a member of the Senate of the Academy of Arts . Gude was also a member of the academies in Vienna, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Stockholm and Copenhagen and in the Association of Berlin Artists . He died on August 17, 1903 in Berlin.
