life and work

Heinrich Ebel studied at the arts and crafts school in Munich from 1875 to 1877 . In 1877 he took over the decorative and church painting business from his late brother in Fegersheim. In the following years, Ebel renovated numerous church paintings in Alsatian churches and executed them himself, for example in the Strasbourg hospital , in the churches of Obersulzbach , Wittenheim , Stundweiler and Markirch .

From 1888 Heinrich Ebel became increasingly involved with sculptures, from 1898 he made panel paintings, in which he mainly devoted himself to rural interiors and village views. From 1900 he turned to tempera painting with a special view of light, for example in the form of sunrises, lanterns or the full moon.

In 1912 a comprehensive special exhibition with the works of Heinrich Ebel took place in the Alsatian Kunsthaus in Strasbourg.

Since the beginning of the 1860s, Ebel took part in major art exhibitions in Berlin , Düsseldorf, Vienna and the Kunstverein Barmen .
