Life

Staircase on Eichengasse in Kronberg

Dielmann was the son of a gardener and after completing an apprenticeship in lithography at JC Vogelschen Lithography Institute in Frankfurt, he became a student of Karl Friedrich Wendelstadt at the Städelsche Kunstinstitut from 1825 to 1827 . During this time he got to know the painter Jakob Becker . As a scholarship holder of the Städelsche Kunstinstitut, Dielmann attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy together with Jakob Becker from 1835 . He was primarily a student of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer and developed his own style by preferring genre-like motifs. He also painted landscapes of the Middle Rhine , the Main and Hesse . In 1841 he first visited Gerhardt Wilhelm von Reutern in Willingshausen in the Schwalm and briefly joined the Willingshausen painters' colony. In Willingshausen he created numerous genre pictures of village life with colorful typical traditional Schwalm costumes. In 1842 he again traveled to Willingshausen to study. From 1842 he moved into a studio in the Städelschule in Frankfurt and became a student of Anton Burger and Philipp Rumpf . In the 1960s Dielmann moved to Kronberg im Taunus , where he founded the Kronberg painters' colony together with Anton Burger .

At the centenary exhibition of German art in Berlin in 1906, he was represented with four landscape paintings.

Dielmann loved to paint small-format landscape and genre pictures with idyllic scenes in light colors, often with children, grandmothers, farmers and animals. He came to open-air painting through his numerous journeys through German landscapes and made numerous repetitions and variations of the same motifs during these journeys to try out other lighting and painting styles.

Dielmann also worked as an illustrator. His works were distributed in large numbers, he was very popular. One of his pictures, Alte Börse (Frankfurt) , served the engraver Wilhelm Lang as a template for his well-known engraving of the stock exchange on Paulsplatz .
