Heinrich Gotthold Arnold (born March 4, 1785 in Lomnitz , † May 3, 1854 in Dresden ) was a German draftsman, painter and graphic artist.

Life

Heinrich Gotthold Arnold, son of Lomnitz pastor Christian Gottlieb Arnold, learned the technique of copperplate engraving in Dresden around 1800 as a pupil of Christian Gottfried Schulze and in 1803 switched to painting with Johann David Schubert at the Royal Art Academy in Dresden . As a portrait painter in oil and miniature, he made several trips through Saxony. In 1812 he went with his family from Dresden, where he also gave lessons in painting and drawing, to Chemnitz , but returned to Dresden. He himself became a professor - teacher of the 1st painting class - at the Dresden Art Academy and drawing master at the Art School in Meißen. One of his students was Meno Mühlig .

In addition to numerous copies, including works by Tizian and Guido Reni in the Old Masters Gallery in Dresden, he created figural scenes, portraits and altar paintings for churches in Saxony and Poland, including in 1842 a Christ with apostles for the village church in his home town, which was rebuilt in 1841. He regularly sent his works to the exhibitions of the Dresden Academy, for example copies as drawings from 1802 to 1804, two drawings in 1805 - a nude after nature and Cato in Utika, to whom a child brings a sword , 1806: Cato, which son and friend for her Ask to preserve his life , as well as several sheets of black chalk from the life of Cato in preparation for further paintings. After that he only exhibited oil paintings: copies, portraits "based on nature" and his own compositions.

His self-portrait is in the Neue Meister gallery of the Dresden State Art Collections .

One of Arnold's daughters married the draftsman Richard Püttner .
