Johann Jürgen Sickert
Johann Jürgen Sickert (born December 23, 1803 in Flensburg ; † October 4, 1864 in Altona ) was a German-Danish painter , photographer and lithographer .
Sickert was born in Flensburg, Denmark, as the son of the seaman Hans Hinrich Sickert and his wife Maria Wiebken Tiebe. Little is known about his training. His "... artistic work [is] to be seen in the context of the old Danish monarchy before 1864, when the boundaries between German and Danish culture were not yet so sharply drawn". As a decorative painter, under Christian VIII he was hired to paint the castles and palaces of the kingdom.
In 1828 he married Caroline Friederike Margaretha Niebuhr in Altona, in 1834 he gave up his Danish citizenship and became a citizen of Altona. He was mainly concerned with portrait painting and worked as a restorer, drawing teacher and decorative painter. Sickert was one of the traditional painters who took up the new pictorial technique of the daguerreotype (later photography) in order to satisfy the public's growing need for private portraits. From 1845 he was increasingly active in Altona's cultural life and endeavored to revitalize the Altonaer Kunstverein. His son, the painter Oswald Adalbert Sickert , was trained and promoted by him. He also established the connection to an English buyer of his landscape paintings. His grandchildren were the painters Bernhard and Walter Sickert .
