Johann Rehle (* 1814 in Neuburg an der Donau ; † December 20, 1846 in Munich ) was a German painter, illustrator and xylograph .

Life

Even as a child, Johann Rehle showed artistic talent when he skillfully cut out silhouette portraits and character figures with his father's heavy tailor's scissors. He attended an academy in Munich , where he met Kaspar Braun , who won him over to the art of woodcutting ( xylography ).

Rehle and Braun went to Paris together in 1838 to further improve their xylography skills under Louis-Henri Brévière.

After her return, Kaspar Braun initially founded a xylographic institute together with Hofrat Georg von Dessauer , from which the Braun & Schneider publishing house emerged in 1843 . Johann Rehle made woodcuts for publications of these companies.

In 1845, Rehle left the Braun & Schneider studio to set up his own company with E. Roller. However, Johann Rehle died on December 20, 1846.

Artistic work

Johann Rehle edited a large part of the illustrations for a magnificent edition of the Nibelungenlied (Stuttgart 1840, Cotta'sche Buchhandlung), an edition of Götz von Berlichingen and an edition of Friedrich Schiller's Bride of Messina .

Rehle provided further woodcuts for the Fliegende Blätter , the Münchener Bilderbogen and various children's books, including the book for pious children (Munich 1844, Braun & Schneider).
