Ludwig pose
Johannes Andreas Ludwig Pose (born December 8, 1786 in Berlin , † April 28, 1877 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German decorative painter of classicism .
Life
Pose, son of the non-commissioned officer Johann Ferdinand Pose, who came from Kotzen in the Mark Brandenburg region , and his wife Luise Dorothea, née Thiele, grew up in Berlin. He was the oldest child in the large family. His younger brothers were Major Ferdinand Pose (1791–1870), the decorative painter Friedrich Pose (1793–1870), the Berlin merchant Wilhelm Pose, the theater manager Eduard Pose (1803–1873) and Captain Julius Pose (1810–1867). His sisters Friederike and Luise remained single and lived with their brother Eduard in Potsdam .
As a student, Pose showed an artistic talent, so that he was allowed to attend the Berlin Art Academy , where he trained as a flower and landscape painter with Johann Wilhelm Meil (1733–1805) . In the 1800s he went to Düsseldorf , then the capital of the Grand Duchy of Berg . There he began to work as a decorative painter. His customers included noble and middle-class families in Düsseldorf, Düren , Krefeld , Elberfeld and the surrounding area. He also founded a business for paints, writing and drawing materials, which existed on Alleestrasse at least until 1833. In 1808 or 1809 Pose married Barbara Gerhards (1788–1835). She gave birth to the daughter Elise (1810-1894), later wife of the architect Max Joseph Custodis , and the son Eduard Wilhelm Pose , who became a well-known landscape painter of the Düsseldorf School .
As a decorative painter, Pose often worked with the architect Adolph von Vagedes . He received his first major order in 1823 when he was supposed to paint the auditorium of the Aachen Theater . He finished this work in 1824. His main work is the painting of the Wiesbaden City Palace (1839–1842 and 1851), which determined the further design and furnishing of the rooms on which he was consulted. Pose's mastery unfolded in bright, bright colors and in a variety of decorative shapes and motifs, especially in arabesques, palmettes, rosettes, flowers, blossoms, chimeras, butterflies, birds and other small animals. Besides his son Eduard, Pose's students were the painters Ernst Willers and Julius Rollmann .
In 1845, Pose decided to move to Frankfurt am Main with his son Eduard and his wife Pauline, née Klotz (1817–1867). He later went to Wiesbaden , where he lived in Friedrichstrasse in 1860. In 1874 he moved back to his son Eduard in Frankfurt am Main. He lived there until his death.
