Kaspar Schleibner (born February 23, 1863 in Hallstadt , † January 27, 1931 in Munich ) was a German church painter .

Life and work

Kaspar Schleibner, son of a master shoemaker , learned the craft of decorative painting from M. Müller in Bamberg from 1875 . He also took drawing lessons at the local secondary school and won an advertised prize. In 1880 he moved to Munich, became an assistant at the city's technical drawing school and strove to enter the Royal Art Academy . Schleibner joined here in 1882 and was a student of Johann Caspar Herterich , Wilhelm Lindenschmit and Gabriel von Hackl . In 1895 and 1904 the painter stayed in Rome to study , where the German-Italian Ludwig Seitz (1844–1908), director of the Vatican Picture Gallery (now the Vatican Pinakothek ), gained artistic influence on him. Eventually he was awarded the title of Professor of Art.

Schleibner developed into a renowned and sought-after church painter who was mainly based on the style of the late Nazarenes . His most famous works include the altarpieces on the two rear side altars of the pilgrimage church of St. Rasso in Grafrath . The first of the works from around 1901/02 shows St. Francis in the company of his spiritual sons and daughters, the second shows St. Anthony with the baby Jesus.

In 1915 the artist created the painting of a Bavarian field fair , which was widely distributed and reproduced during the First World War - mainly as a communion souvenir. For the altar of St. Anna's Basilica in Altötting , he painted a picture, often reproduced in print, depicting the 14 helpers in need. In 1901, Kaspar Schleibner restored the paintings in the famous medieval wooden chapel of St. Anna in Oberstdorf .

Kaspar Schleibner was a member of the Munich Association for Christian Art . Kaspar-Schleibner-Straße in Hallstadt, where he was born, is a reminder of him.
