Heinrich Ludwig Philippi (born June 9, 1838 in Kleve , † September 16, 1874 in Düsseldorf ) was a German art and history painter from the Düsseldorf School of Painting .

Life

After graduating from high school in Elberfeld in 1857 , he went on a study trip to Berlin, Frankfurt and Dresden - already with the clear determination to become a painter. Eduard Bendemann , the director of the academy there , to whom he was largely related (cousin of his aunt Ella Friedländer), encouraged him to go to Düsseldorf. Here he studied from May 1857 at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Wilhelm Sohn , a nephew of the painter Karl Ferdinand Sohn , and painting with Adolph Schroedter , also attended the building class with Rudolf Wiegmann and art history lectures in the class of antiquities with Carl Müller. In Munich he studied with Carl Theodor von Piloty and in 1865/66 independently in Rome, where he worked with Anselm Feuerbach . His artistic training was repeatedly interrupted by conscription (1859). In 1866 he was recalled from Rome.

On July 9, 1866, he was wounded in the battle of Königgrätz , but so lightly that he was able to rejoin the regiment before the war in Moravia was over. Numerous sketchbooks date from this time. In 1870/71 he was drafted as captain of the Landwehr and wounded in the prison camp in Wesel. After a long, serious illness (tuberculosis) he died in Düsseldorf in 1874 and was buried in the Golzheimer Friedhof .

family

Philippi was a son of the district court president Johann Friedrich Hector Philippi from Elberfeld. After an engagement that was forbidden by his father (“because he has not yet reached a point of view in art that would allow him to commit”) to Marie Bendemann, the daughter of the academy director Eduard Bendemann and niece of Wilhelm von Schadows , he married Elisabeth Jordan in 1868 (1849 –1923), niece of the painter Rudolf Jordan . The marriage remained childless. His younger brother was the archive director in Münster, Friedrich Philippi .
