Joseph Steingrubel
Joseph Steingrübel (born February 10, 1804 in Augsburg ; † October 19, 1838 there ) was a German painter , graphic artist and lithographer .
Life
Joseph Steingrübel was a student of his father, the Augsburg illuminator , copper engraver and art publisher Johann Simpert Steingrübel . His mother succumbed to a lung disease when Joseph Steingrubel and his younger sister were still children.
The father made it possible for the boy to visit the municipal art institute. His speaker there also recognized the talent of his student and kept two of his paintings to himself, one of them with a view of Affing Castle . He recommended the young Steingrübel to the wife of Karl Ernst von Gravenreuth , owner of the castle. The Countess von Gravenreuth had Joseph Steingrübel made several landscape paintings for a fee and, supported by the recommendation of other patrons, enabled him to study landscape painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1826 onwards . His landscape paintings in oil and watercolor technique were well received by the Kunstverein München and were bought by them for raffle purposes. Study trips to Switzerland, Tyrol and Italy followed, where from 1834 to 1837 he trained in painting, preferably in Rome, Venice, Florence and Verona. He exhibited regularly through the Kunstverein Augsburg and sold his works in this context.
Georg Kaspar Nagler classified Steingrübels lithographic works in his artist lexicon as "the best products of lithography around 1830". The Munich priest and art writer Balthasar Speth had him reproduce several works by other artists in his gallery. Works by Steingrübel, for example, were acquired by Alfred von Lotzbeck and Joseph Maillinger for their collections, while others are in museums, for example the Thorvaldsen Museum .
As a result of a fifteen-month tuberculosis affliction, Steingrubel died at a young age in his native Augsburg. His sister, whom he had taught painting and drawing, became a drawing teacher at the Institute of the English Misses in Passau . His father died on June 28, 1858 at the age of 85.
Posthumously some works from the estate of Joseph Steingrübels were put up for auction in the Weberhaus on May 16, 1839 by the royal district and city court .
