Johannes Riepenhausen
Johannes Riepenhausen (also: Johann Christian Riepenhausen , * 1787 in Göttingen ; † September 11, 1860 in Rome ) was a German painter and engraver .
Life
Riepenhausen and his brother Franz Riepenhausen first learned from their father Ernst Ludwig Riepenhausen , later from Tischbein at the Kassel Academy , from 1805 in Dresden and from 1807 in Italy, especially after Raffael, and chose Rome as their permanent residence.
Chalk drawings of Goethe's “Faust”, Schiller's “Taucher” and his “Fight with the Dragon”, depictions from the life of Charlemagne and many pictures of religious content belong to this period. In 1822 they completed the story of Saint Elizabeth for the Duke of Cambridge and a replica of Raphael's Transfiguration . In 1825 the brothers painted the large oil painting "Heinrich the Lion" for the hall of the Guelph Order in Hanover, protecting Emperor Friedrich I against the assassination attack of the Romans when he left St. Peter's Church .
Jointly they led the "History of Painting in Italy" (Stuttgart and Tübingen 1810-20, two issues), 24 outlines after the Italian masters before Perugino , a series of outlines to Pausanias ' description of Polygnotan paintings in the Lesche the Cnidians to Delphi (32 sheets) and 16 sheets Etchings from Ludwig Tie's “Genoveva”.
After Franz's death, Johannes published the drawings, which both had made to depict Raphael's life, under the title “Vita di Raffaelle da Urbino” (Rome 1833, 12 sheets).
In 1855 Riepenhausen, who had meanwhile been raised to court painter and still working in Rome , was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Guelph Order , as was the Royal Hanoverian court painter Eduard Frederich in Hanover .
