Hugo Harrer
Hugo Paul Harrer (born February 6, 1836 in Eberswalde , † December 10, 1876 in Rome ) was a German landscape and architecture painter from the Düsseldorf School .
Life
Although he had started training in architecture, he soon turned primarily to painting as an autodidact and through private studies in the studios of friends. He created his first pictures in the city of Nuremberg , whose buildings inspired him to make early attempts at architectural painting. Then he moved to Munich to be inspired by the paintings of Carl Theodor von Piloty . Because of a breast problem he went to Rome in 1861 (or in October 1862), where he joined Ludwig Passini and painted studies from nature. In the years 1867/1868 Harrer stayed in Düsseldorf . At the art academy there he studied in the landscape class of Oswald Achenbach . From 1868 to 1872 he was a member of the Düsseldorf artist association Malkasten . He then moved back to Rome, where he created a large stock of studies and sketches as templates for oil paintings with which he sent German art exhibitions, often pictorial depictions of street scenes and ruins as well as Italian coastal landscapes.
