Joachim Hinrich Wrage (born March 12, 1843 in Hitzhusen ; † July 4, 1912 in Gremsmühlen ) was a German landscape painter and graphic artist . He is one of the most important exponents of plein air painting in the last third of the 19th century and, with his work, is one of the pioneers of Impressionism .

Hinrich Wrage's pictures mainly show his preferred motifs of the landscape of Sylt and eastern Holstein . The realistically - without glossing over, idealization or stylization - painted pictures make him one of the most important painters of "North German Realism".

Hinrich Wrage was the brother of the church painter Wilhelm August Wrage .

Life

Hinrich Wrage was born in Hitzhusen (near Bad Bramstedt ) in 1843 as the son of a family of farm workers and grew up in very modest circumstances. During his childhood, an incorrectly treated periosteum inflammation led to four years of bed rest and persistent walking difficulties. During this time he learned to draw.

education

In August 1862 he began an apprenticeship with the porcelain painter Friedrich Hess in Kiel , where he also attended the trade school.

In 1867 he received a scholarship from the Provincial Government of Schleswig-Holstein and was able to begin studying at the Düsseldorf Art Academy - there, the teacher Oswald Achenbach , in whose landscape class he stayed from 1867 to 1871, was formative for his painting. From Düsseldorf he traveled to Belgium , the Netherlands and Denmark to study .

In 1871 he followed Theodor Hagen to the Grand Ducal Saxon Art School in Weimar . In 1872 he visited the island of Sylt , where he was impressed by the untouched nature and was the template for one of the first pictures of importance.

In 1873 he went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich where he became a master student of Karl Gussow . From Munich he traveled to Bavaria and parts of Austria and, in 1875, Italy to Sicily .

In 1875 he went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin , where he graduated from Albert Hertel in 1877 . In Berlin he met the painter Adolph Menzel , as well as Ferdinand Tönnies and Friedrich Paulsen .

After the education

He returned to his Holstein homeland and was soon able to sell the first pictures. In 1879 he moved to Gremsmühlen (now part of Malente ) in the Principality of Lübeck , where he bought a house near the Dieksee in 1881 , set up a studio and founded a painting school. Wrage was a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association from 1832 .

Wife Wilhelmine Wrage

In 1884 Hinrich Wrage married his student Wilhelmine Stahl (July 5, 1859 in Hamburg - September 26, 1945 in Malente-Gremsmühlen ) - a talented landscape painter who had been a student of Carl Oesterley junior in Hamburg . After her marriage she gave up painting and did not start again until 1930.
