Isidor Popper (born January 10, 1816 in Hildesheim , † March 7, 1884 in Hamburg ) was a German lithographer , genre and portrait painter and caricaturist of the Jewish faith.

Life

From 1839 to 1840 Popper studied painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . There was Theodor Hildebrandt his teacher. He later went to Hamburg, where he made a half-length portrait of Heinrich Heine in the winter of 1843 . This later came into the possession of his brother, who was a preacher in the Berlin reform community. Furthermore, a lithograph was made of this in 1872 (presumably by Popper himself) because a little later he founded a lithographic institute there. He also portrayed Heine's mother, after which it was in the possession of Gustav Heine . Among other things, he worked as a draftsman for the magazine Mephistopheles from 1847 to 1862 . Other works by him in 1848 were a portrait of the entrepreneur Bernhard Salomon Berendsohn and a portrait of the pedagogue Eduard Kley . A lithograph by him, showing the German Reich Minister Johann Gustav Heckscher and signed I. Popper fecit , was published in 1848 by Bernhard Salomon Berendsohn.
