from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Bostelmann (full name Karl Louis Georg Bostelmann or Carl Louis Georg Bostelmann ; and Carl Bostelmann ; born January 22, 1824 or 1825 in Hanover ; † August 24, 1912 in Beverstedt or Hanover) was a German miniature painter as well as court and portrait painter at the royal Hof in Hanover.

Life

Bostelmann completed his training at Barkhahn in Hamburg. From 1840 he was a copyist at the gallery in Dresden. He also worked in Düsseldorf, Munich and Vienna. In 1843 he traveled to Rome via Venice and Florence, where he stayed from 1844 to 1846. Here he joined Johannes Riepenhausen , Carl Rahl , Ernst Willers and Karl Lindemann-Frommel and was with Peter von Cornelius and Friedrich Overbeck . He was sponsored by the envoy August Kestner in Rome.

On April 29, 1845 and April 30, 1846 he took part in the Cervaro festivals of the Ponte Molle Society .

From 1847 to 1866 he was employed as a miniature portrait painter at the court of Hanover, where he portrayed the royal family and those of the Crown Prince in Oldenburg. He also made large oil portraits. Then he worked in Hamburg and again in Hanover.

In Hanover in particular, Bostelmann's original portraits of contemporaries in Ahles Weinstuben were a reminder of the miniature painter for a long time .

As a retiree, he retired to Wachholz near Beverstedt , where he had owned the Wachholz estate since 1858 . He had extensive correspondence with his children (one daughter and three sons) in Hoboken, New Jersey .

In 1896 Karl sold the Wachholz estate and bought a small house in Beverstedter Hindenburgstrasse. He died in Beverstedt on August 24, 1912 and was buried next to his wife in the Geestemünder Friedhof . She died earlier, also in Beverstedt, in 1904.
