Hieronymus Christian Krohn
Hieronymus Christian Krohn (born December 26, 1843 in Hamburg ; † June 27, 1910 ibid) was a German landscape, genre and portrait painter and craftsman.
Life
Krohn was born in Hamburg in 1843. From 1864 to 1870 he was a pupil of Ferdinand Pauwels and Bernhard Plockhorst at the art school in Weimar and continued to work there. From 1870 to 1872 he traveled to Italy, where he a. a. copied Hellenistic wall paintings for the art historian Karl Woermann in Rome . Study trips also took him to the Netherlands. From the 1880s he lived in Hamburg again. In the 1870s he participated with his works several times in the exhibitions of the Royal Academy of the Arts in Berlin. He was a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association from 1832 . His estate was auctioned at two auctions: in October 1910 at the Hamburg auction house L. Bock & Sohn and in 1923 at the auction house G. Adolf Pohl , also in Hamburg. The Hamburger Kunsthalle owns several watercolors by Krohn. In addition to landscapes, genre scenes and portraits, his works also included cityscapes and arts and crafts.
“In terms of color, lines, and mood, these works, created around 50 years ago, approximate today's Düsseldorf school. Even if it is going too far to present Krohn as a forerunner of the current Düsseldorf direction; It is interesting and remarkable that these parallels can be found without any particular effort. "
