Ludwig Heinrich Heyne (born August 25, 1878 in Düsseldorf , † October 1914 in Douvrin , France ) was a German painter.

Life and artistic activity

Heyne trained at the Royal Prussian Art Academy in Düsseldorf at the end of the 1890s , among others with Claus Meyer , and then settled in his hometown as a figure and landscape painter. As a member of the artists' association Malkasten , to which he belonged from 1910 until his untimely death, he made a name for himself through his efforts to improve the economic situation of the artists. Heyne was married to Else Spies; the marriage remained childless. At the beginning of the First World War, Heyne was ordered to serve as a deputy officer to northern France, where he died in a hospital in October 1914 as a result of a serious wound.

In his short creative period, Heyne created landscapes with people and animals, a. a. The girlfriends , the old shepherd , weather clouds over the heather stable , allegorical figures such as Bajazzo showing the crowd a crown (around 1897), and still lifes. He also carried out a number of portraits, including that of Kaiser Wilhelm II as a hussar in 1910 , after Alfred Schwarz and in 1913 a self-portrait . He found most convincing details of architecture, such as the view from the studio on Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse in Düsseldorf in 1913, which he occasionally combined with representations of figures, such as a market scene in front of Jan Wellem in Düsseldorf , with the market women in a haunting close-up view. In 1912, Heyne created a triptych for the meeting room of the West German inland shipping trade association in Duisburg , which showed Kaiser Wilhelm II, flanked by depictions of Rhine shipping, as the patron of inland shipping. The artist exhibited his work mainly in Düsseldorf, but also in Munich. On the occasion of the posthumous exhibition of a small selection of his paintings in 1915 in the Düsseldorf gallery Schaffnik, Heyne's criticism highlighted “excellent characteristics and chosen coloring”.
