Jakob Bachta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Bachta , also Jacob Bachta (born February 27, 1806 in Koblenz , † October 27, 1855 there ), was a German history and portrait painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Jakob Bachta was a son of the Koblenz painter Johann Baptist Bachta , from whom he also received his basic artistic training. Evidently in the summer half of 1830 and in the winter of 1830/31 he was enrolled in the "Upper Class of Performing Artists" at the Düsseldorf Art Academy - but without naming the teacher - and in 1831 he was in the annual exhibition of the Rheinischer Kunstverein in Düsseldorf with a self-portrait and with the Cardboard for the painting "Tobias, healing his blind father's eyes". In addition to other history paintings, he delivered altarpieces for various churches on the Moselle . Simple portraits of his citizens have also been preserved. He is said to have made a trip to Paris and taught at the Höhere Töchterschule in Koblenz from 1844. The sister Eva Bachta was considered a skillful flower painter who was also based and active in Koblenz.
