Life

Naue laid the basis of his artistic career in Nuremberg as a student of the painter August von Kreling . With his advocacy, Naue came to the studio of the painter Moritz von Schwind in Munich at the age of 26 and stayed there until 1866. During this time, he wrote, among others, “Annunciation Maria” (1862), “The Nordic Sage” (watercolor) (1864) and “ The Toad Ring ”(1865).

In 1868 Naue received a private contract to decorate a villa near Lindau with eight frescoes: Germania, Roma, Alaric, Geiseric, Clovis, Alboin, Odoacer and Theodoric. In the years 1869–71 he drew 15 large cardboard boxes on the history of the migration of peoples (reproduced in collotype). A Prometheus cycle was created in watercolor from 1872–1873, and in 1873–74 he painted Schwind's “Cinderella” in wax colors in the ballroom of the Roman House in Leipzig . In 1873 the splendid edition of Eduard Mörike's “History of the Beautiful Lau” was published with Naue's etchings based on illustration designs by Moritz von Schwind. He spent the winter of 1874 in Rome . From 1875 to 1877 he carried out a cycle of frescoes in a private house in Hamburg : "The fate of the gods according to the German heroic saga", and in 1879 in a castle in Mecklenburg, seven tempera pictures from the epic "Helgi and Sigrun". He also etched and made drawings for the woodcut after Schwind.

In his archaeological work, Naue coined the term finger-tongued sword in April 1884 in a lecture on the subject of prehistoric swords to the Anthropological Society in Munich . His contributions consisted largely in the research of Celtic barrows from the Bronze Age. As an autodidact, he presented a number of smaller publications that the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen accepted as the basis for a doctorate in 1887 with a dissertation entitled The Barrows between Ammer and Staffelsee . Of his project, The Bronze Age in Upper Bavaria , which was laid out as a multi-volume work, only the first volume appeared in 1894, which consisted of a revision and expansion of his dissertation.

Naue was a member of the Munich Association for Christian Art . He died on March 14, 1907 in Munich at the age of 71.
