Julius Allgeyer
Julius Allgeyer (born March 31, 1829 in Haslach im Kinzigtal , † September 6, 1900 in Munich ) was a German engraver , photographer and writer .
Life
Julius Allgeyer completed an apprenticeship as a copper engraver in Karlsruhe and moved to Freiburg im Breisgau in 1848 . Because of his participation in the revolution of 1848 he had to flee to Switzerland and worked for the Benziger publishing house in Einsiedeln . In 1853 he returned to Germany and settled in Düsseldorf in 1854 , where he continued his education at the local art academy under Joseph von Keller . There he made the acquaintance of Johannes Brahms and Clara Schumann , whose correspondence with Robert Schumann and her father Friedrich Wieck he later arranged. At the New Year of 1856 he moved to his mother in Überlingen on Lake Constance . From 1856 to 1860 he lived in Rome , where he made friends with Anselm Feuerbach , whose painting Allgeyer partially engraved and published as a photograph. Together with his brother Leo Allgeyer, he ran a studio in Karlsruhe from 1861 to 1871. We have survived a recording by the Russian poet Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev from 1869. Allgeyer published a biography of Feuerbach and a manual of the collotype process, which he had tried to improve.
In 2008 a hitherto unknown piano work by Robert Schumann was discovered in the Leopold-Sophien-Bibliothek in Überlingen, which Clara Schumann had dedicated to Allgeyer on October 7, 1856.
