Life
Hermann Julius Kornbeck was born in Winnenden as the son of the court camera administrator Johann Franz Wilhelm Kornbeck. After attending the Latin School Marbach and the Technical University of Stuttgart Kornbeck was according to the will of his father architect and found in the office of Oberbaurat Morlock employment. Already at the age of 25 he turned to painting and attended Heinrich Funk's landscape painting school at the Stuttgart Art Academy from 1864–1865 . His first large picture, the view of the village of Baach, comes from this time. From 1866 to 1869 he studied in Munich , where he became friends with the later important animal painter Anton Braith . He studied in Düsseldorf from 1869 to 1873. During this time he met his future wife Josefine Mittler, whom he married in 1872. The marriage remained childless. From 1887 until his death he lived in what is now the Nürtingen district of Oberensingen . There he also had contact with Gustav Kemmner , a painter from the neighboring town of Unterensingen , whom he then looked after as a mentor. Julius Kornbeck found his final resting place in the family grave in the Winnend city cemetery.
plant
Jakob Kocher described Julius Kornbeck as follows:
“ He was a native artist full of intimacy and immediacy of feeling, a Swabian master with a decidedly personal and artistic peculiarity, whom the people loved because they understood him. "
Kornbeck painted the landscape and nature that he loved so much. He is consistently portrayed as very hardworking, not a day went by without a brush stroke. Even in winter he went out into nature with his frame and palette, creating his finely tuned winter landscapes. Kornbeck's work has not changed significantly during the 50 years of his work. With his realistic representation, Kornbeck was completely up to date. Basically, his works were not created in the studio, but in the open air. He rejected more modern art movements such as Cubism (from 1907) or Fauvism (from 1905).
