Karl von Enhuber (born December 16, 1811 in Hof , † July 6, 1867 in Munich ) was a Bavarian painter .
Karl von Enhuber was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1832 . Right from the start he made rural life in his Bavarian homeland a theme in his pictures. His first significant picture was the “ Partenkirchen fair with a soap dealer as the center of the gawking crowd”.
This was followed by genre pictures , such as "the interrupted card game" (engraved by Christoph Preisel ) or "the court day" (engraved by Georg Franz Jaquemot ). In 1860 he began his most important work, the illustrations for Melchior Meyr's “Stories from the Ries”, 13 sheets that appeared in photographs.
Enhuber died on July 6, 1867 after being stung by a poisonous fly .
reception
Enhuber knew how to portray the life of the people excellently and knew how to give his pictures a certain good-naturedness and harmlessness, which often turns into mischievous humor. He carried out carefully but never painstakingly, and his color was clear if it lacked strength.
