Life

Klein von Diepold was the son of the Düsseldorf painter Friedrich Emil Klein and his wife, the poet Friederika Wilhelmina Ada von Diepold, as well as the brother of the painters Leo Klein von Diepold and Maximilian (Max) Klein von Diepold and the art writer Rudolf Klein-Diepold . He grew up in Düsseldorf since 1873, where he received his first painting lessons from his father. From 1886 he studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . There were Hugo Crola and Peter Janssen the Elder his teachers.

In 1888 Klein von Diepold moved to the Academy of Antwerp , where he was a student of Charles Verlat and a master student of Julian De Vriendt (1842-1935). After attending drawing classes (1888–1891), in which antique and living models were used, he attended a sculpture class in 1890/1891 . Under the guidance of De Vriendt, he created his first independent paintings from 1892/1893. He went on study trips through Belgium and France , which introduced him not only to the paintings of the Flemish and Old Dutch masters, but also to contemporary painting, such as the art of Vincent van Gogh , Jozef Israels , Gustave Courbet , Jean-François Millet and the Barbizon School . From 1893 he had his own studio in Antwerp , whose academy awarded him a prize in the same year.

In 1893 he traveled to Italy . He visited the Italian Riviera and Florence , where he tried his hand at sculpture for half a year before moving to Paris in 1894, attracted by French Impressionism . In 1895 he returned to the Riviera. In 1896 he married the Italian Ida Bianchi, the daughter of an engineer, and moved with her to Rome . The couple had two children, their daughter Maria and their son Helmut. Between 1903 and 1914 Klein von Diepold made several trips and changed residence several times, for example to Antwerp and the Taunus , from where he ran a school studio in Frankfurt am Main . In 1909 he founded a studio in Berlin , in 1910 he was back on the Riviera, near Genoa . He lived there with his family until the outbreak of the First World War , which led to his moving to Berlin, where he became familiar with the German impressionism of Max Liebermann , Walter Leistikow , Max Slevogt and Lovis Corinth and between 1916 and 1918 at the exhibitions of Participated in the Free Secession .

In 1919 he accepted an invitation from Emden's Lord Mayor Leo Fürbringer and discovered the East Frisian landscape for his painting. In 1923 he lived in Mansie near Westerstede for a year . After divorcing his wife Ida, he married Margarethe Iderhoff from East Frisia in 1925. The couple, who moved to Norderney and lived there in summer, had their son Manfred, who would later become a sculptor. Winters, Klein von Diepold stayed either in Berlin or in Italy. The Berlin studio, in which the majority of his paintings were located, was destroyed shortly before the end of the Second World War.

Klein von Diepold mostly painted in oil , mainly landscapes, alongside portraits, some still lifes and genre scenes . He also depicted landscapes in watercolor , figure and landscape studies in chalk, charcoal, red chalk or pencil, portraits in pastel. He also created lithographs and etchings .

The Ostfriesisches Landesmuseum Emden has a self-portrait and other works by Klein von Diepold .
