Karl Friedrich Sommer

Karl Johann Friedrich Sommer (born December 6, 1830 in Lübeck , † January 9, 1867 in Bad Schwartau ) was a German painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Sommer studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1860 to 1863 and was a student of Paul Weber . After a trip to Italy in 1864/65 to Rome , he worked as a genre and landscape painter in Lübeck. Some of his works were in the Lübeck Museum Behnhaus . The art critic Otto Grautoff praised Sommer's drawings and brought him closer to his fellow Düsseldorf student Wilhelm Cordes , but attested his paintings a certain harshness and came to the conclusion:

“In any case, his pictures express a serious and honest striving, a healthy feeling for color values and a sense of nature; in happy moments he created valuable art with these gifts "
