Hugo von Blomberg
Hugo Freiherr von Blomberg (born September 26, 1820 in Berlin , † June 17, 1871 in Weimar ) was a German painter , poet and art writer.
Life
Von Blomberg initially worked as a lawyer, then devoted himself to painting in the wax atelier in Berlin and went to Paris to Léon Cogniet in 1847 . Called back to arms service two years later, he continued his studies in Berlin until he decided in 1867 at the age of 47 to move to Weimar in order to improve himself under Ferdinand Pauwel's leadership. His lively mind, combined with a decided preference for the ghostly, demonic, and mystical , seldom allowed him to complete a work he had begun. But his 27 color sketches for Dante show a great talent for invention. The ornamental connection of his ideas was also to be emphasized , whereby his sense of color came in handy.
In Berlin, Blomberg became a member of the Tunnel over the Spree , a literary society that had been founded on December 3, 1827 under the name “Der Sonntags-Verein zu Berlin” and that had influenced Berlin's literary life for over 70 years.
As a poet, he made himself known through a volume of pictures and romances (Breslau 1860) and through his fatherland poems Treu zum Tod (Berlin 1872).
The third edition of Franz Kugler's History of Painting (Leipzig. 1867, 3 vol.) Can also be found among his art-historical publications . Blomberg and Kugler were both members of the Rütli , a subsidiary group from the tunnel over the Spree .
