Karl Lorenz Rettich (born June 10, 1841 in Rosenhagen , † September 12, 1904 in Lübeck ) was a German landscape painter .

Life

Work "Baltic beach with approaching thunderstorm"

Radish was born in Rosenhagen in Mecklenburg. His father owned the manor in Rosenhagen near Dassow near the Bay of Lübeck . As a teenager he spent his time here in the oak and beech forests, hunting and fishing. The area on the Baltic Sea shaped him from an early age and can be found in his later works. Radich went to school in the Katharineum in Lübeck and then began studying law in Munich in 1861 at the request of his father . At the same time, he became interested in art and became one of the first students of the landscape painter Adolf Lier . In 1862 he went to Düsseldorf, where he joined Albert Flamm and Theodor Hagen . In 1867 he moved to Dresden for three years , then to Weimar until 1888 at the Grand Ducal Saxon Art School . There he studied landscape painting as a student of Böcklin , Lenbach and again Theodor Hagens. Study trips took him to Norway , Sweden , but also to Italy . After a few years in Munich, he moved to Lübeck and from there in April 1897 to Graal , what is now the municipality of Graal-Müritz . There he bought a house and from then on spent the summers in the small community and the winters in his parents' house in Lübeck. He was able to earn a living by selling postcards with typical landscape motifs. With the income, he had an exhibition pavilion built in 1898. In 1904 he died - suffering from cancer - as a result of an operation.

Work "Sailors off the coast"

His works can be seen in Lübeck, in the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Rostock and in the Graal-Müritz home parlor. According to Georg Lenz in his monograph, they reflect “the landscape designs that mirror his mental state”. Radich received awards for his works in London , Melbourne and Munich (1876). The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin Friedrich Franz IV also awarded him the title of professor.

His older brother was the landowner and member of the German Reichstag Meno Rettich (1839-1918).
