Hermann Lindenschmit ( Karl Heinrich Hermann Lindenschmit , born September 13, 1857 in Frankfurt am Main , † October 8, 1939 in Munich ) was a German painter.

Life

Lindenschmit came from a Mainz artist family: his great-grandfather was the Mainz draftsman, engraver and coin engraver Johann Lindenschmit (1771–1845), his grandfather the painter Wilhelm Lindenschmit the Elder. Ä. and his father Wilhelm Lindenschmit d. J. , married to Maria, née Jost, Hermann's mother.

Having lived in Munich since 1863, Lindenschmit first attended Wilhelmsgymnasium after elementary school, then switched to the similarly humanistic Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich for the school year 1872/73 , which he left again in 1874. He remained lifelong friends with his classmate Fritz Freund . On October 15, 1875, his entry into the class of antiquities at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich is documented. He then studied with Alexander Strähuber here in 1877/78 , with Ludwig Löfftz in 1878/81 and in his father's composing class until 1883. As a result, he spent time studying in Italy and repeatedly in Tyrol, South Tyrol and the Bavarian mountains.

Hermann Lindenschmit mainly created figure scenes and depictions of individual characters from rural life, which took up suggestions from the circle of artists around Franz von Defregger. He was a member of the> Münchner Künstler-Genossenschaft <(MKG) and the> Künstlergruppe 48 <. In 1883 he participated for the first time in the annual Munich exhibition in the Glass Palace with the painting The Return of the Prodigal Son . Until 1930 he regularly took part in the Glaspalast exhibitions with oil paintings, watercolors and drawings, but also showed his work elsewhere, for example in the Münchner Kunstverein, in the Galerie Heinemann in Munich, in Bremen (1890) and in the exhibitions of the Berlin Academy ( 1888, 1890, 1892), the “ Great Berlin Art Exhibition ” (1902, 1911) and the “ Association of Berlin Artists ” (1891). His compositions became known above all for their implementation in the technique of wood engraving , which appeared in popular magazines.

In 1913 he was awarded the gold medal at the international art exhibition in Munich, in which he showed the paintings Gotische Stube and Der Antiquar . His charcoal drawing Die Erzählung , exhibited in the “ Great German Art Exhibition ” in 1937 in Munich's Haus der Kunst , was acquired by Joseph Goebbels .
