Hermann Neuhaus (born February 28, 1863 in Barmen ; † July 3, 1941 ) was a German history and genre painter and architect in Wolfratshausen .

Life

Neuhaus attended the Academy in Düsseldorf from 1881 to 1883 and was initially a student of Bruno Piglhein from 1883 to 1887 , then of Fritz von Uhde in Munich . He was also a student and admirer of Franz von Lenbach . In the years 1887 to 1891 he lived temporarily in Brussels before returning to Munich. Neuhaus held the title of professor . At the exhibition in Berlin in 1901, it was said about the works exhibited there that only a few of them lived up to expectations and that they no longer came close to the achievements he had previously shown. However, they were characterized by the fact that he integrated the frames used into the total work of art. The lower bar of the frame of a Rhine landscape on the Loreley showed a dead boatman at the bottom of the river, who was held by Nixe. The triptych Death and Life , on the other hand, was surrounded by red-flame lights on the frame. A self-portrait by the artist, however, was described as appropriate to himself.
