Heinrich Papen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Papen (* 1644 or 1645 in Giershagen ; † December 12, 1719 ) (partly also Pape ) was a baroque picture carver and sculptor . His son Christoph (el) Papen (1678–1735) followed him as head of the Papen workshop .

Life

The family came from a miner's family. Some of its members were originally Steiger and Trades. He was married to a Gertrud Kramer, who died in 1714. The son Christoffel / Christoph was born in 1678. There were two other sons and three daughters from the marriage. The house, which for a long time was called the “undefeated sculptor” (sic!), Was built by the couple in 1678 according to an inscription. It was a large half-timbered house decorated with carved grapes and tendrils. There was a large workroom on the upper floor and remnants of the sculptor's workshop were found.

Despite intensive research, little is known about his actual professional and artistic career. The work is better known. Christian Daniel Rauch , who came through Giershagen on the way to Arolsen, described an image of a saint in a wayside shrine near Giershagen as a work of art of the first order to the authorities in Berlin. The authorities then protected the picture with a grid. Recent research has shown that Papen was not influenced by Dietrich Gröninger, as previously assumed, but rather by the Antwerp brothers Willemssen, who were involved in the Baroque transformation of Paderborn Cathedral .

There is some newly found archival evidence for previously unclear work. Many works can still only be assigned to the Papen workshop by comparing styles. A total of 150 objects can be found in 50 locations. The workshop was mainly active in East Sauerland , in the prince-bishopric of Paderborn , in the territory of the Corvey monastery , in the principality of Waldeck and in the northern Hessian area as far as Fritzlar . The son Christoph ran the workshop together with his father and continued it after the death of Heinrich Papen. He continued to develop artistically from his father's example.

Like his ancestors, he was also active in mining himself . Together with Baron von Canstein, he was an equal trader in a mine near Giershagen . This proximity to mining is reflected in a wayside shrine near Geirshagen with a mining inscription that he created around 1700 . “ This was the work of the mine, also Reidemeister as well as all miners and some workers built in the honor of God.
