Johannes Noodt

Johannes Noodt , actually Jakob Johann August Noodt (born December 15, 1781 in Oldesloe , † November 23, 1851 in Hamburg ) was a German art dealer and auctioneer.

Life

Johannes Noodt was a son of the chancellery and then mayor of Oldesloe Christian August Noodt (1734-1802), whose family came from Holland. He was originally intended to study medicine, but the fire in Oldesloe in May 1798 and the losses suffered by the family made studying impossible.

He was sent to Hamburg to become a businessman. However, the art things in his family had aroused his love for art in him early on. During his apprenticeship, he met Johannes Michael Speckter and JH Krüger, who advised him to become a broker in the art field. From 1810 he worked as a broker in paintings, copperplate engravings, other works of art, coins, natural objects, etc. in Hamburg.

The business premises of the art dealer were on Valentinskamp, ​​from 1821 on Große Johannisstraße 48, in 1827 on Große Reichenstraße 23. In 1821, Noodt employed Georg Ernst Harzen . Harzen, who was considered a recognized expert in graphic works of art, ran at least 20 large art auctions until 1847.

A great number of works of art passed through Noodt's hands and business. The number of catalogs he produced is more than a hundred and contains many important collections. In 1817 he tried to set up an art association by exhibiting a collection of paintings entrusted to his care and his own portfolios and art books in his own shop , but found no support from the Hamburg public.

Noodt was a very skilled draftsman, art turner and skilled restorer of paintings; he also had good knowledge as a numismatist.

Noodt was married to Eleonore Margaretha, born on January 24, 1817. Palm († November 23, 1851 in Hamburg). He died of a breast disease .
