Johann Heinrich Hintze
Johann Heinrich Hintze (born April 18, 1800 in Berlin , † August 16, 1861 in Hamburg ) was a German landscape and architecture painter. Together with Eduard Gaertner , Johann Erdmann Hummel and Carl Hasenpflug, Hintze was one of the most important German architectural painters of his time.
Johann Heinrich Hintze completed his training as a porcelain painter in landscape painting at the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin from 1814, like many artists during this period . In 1820 he left the factory and went on a study trip that took him to Mecklenburg and Rügen . During this time he created various landscape and architectural images on behalf of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg . He then undertook extensive trips to Holstein , the Alps , Austria , Prague , Silesia and the Rhine . In 1830 he returned to Berlin and worked together with Gaertner and other Berlin architecture painters on the illustrations for Samuel Heinrich Spiker's book Berlin and its Surroundings .
From 1824 to 1858 Johann Heinrich Hintze participated regularly in the Berlin academy exhibitions and worked as a painter and draftsman for the later Emperor Friedrich III. active on his travels. Hintze put his main focus on the cityscape and the surroundings of Berlin. He mostly painted oil paintings, but also watercolors, including several views of cities such as Vienna , Salzburg and Prague . An exposed work in connection with Berlin painting is the oil painting of the Nikolaikirche . The building is shown in its original state with only one tower in a small town-looking environment.
