Max Hunten
Max Hünten (born September 25, 1869 in Düsseldorf , † May 25, 1936 in Zingst ) was a German painter .
The son of the German battle painter Emil Hünten and Emilie, née Coninx (1835–1917) received his training at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 1888/1889 , first in Hugo Crola's “preparatory class” and Heinrich Lauenstein's “elementary class” . In the years 1892 to 1893 there followed his training in painting in "ornamentation and decoration" with Adolf Schill and the "painting class" of Eduard Gebhardt and Arthur Kampf . He also attended the Académie Julian in Paris .
He lived in his father's house on Jägerhofstrasse in Düsseldorf until the end of the 19th century , then moved to Goltsteinstrasse 25 and until October 1894 was a member of the 11th Hussar Regiment of the officers' association of the Landwehr district of Düsseldorf. Early 20th century was Hünten owner of the house no. 41 in Prince George's Street , built in 1907 by Gottfried Wehling , which the French with the Ruhr occupation after the First World War occupied . Hünten was a member of the General German Art Cooperative and around 1913 deputy chairman of the local association in Düsseldorf.
On his travels he met Darß and moved to Zingst with his wife Mary, a German-Irish woman whom he married in Düsseldorf, in the mid-1920s; there he lived at Schulstrasse 2. Max Hünten was able to pursue his passions, hunting and painting, in this landscape. His combat, military, hunting and landscape paintings are in numerous German museums, u. a. in the Granitz hunting lodge on Rügen.
He died in Zingst, his urn was buried in the family crypt in Düsseldorf.
The photographic legacy of Max Hünten only became known through the discovery of 500 glass plate negatives in the local museum in Zingst. The photos were taken on a four-year trip around the world from 1910 to 1914. The house for photography in Zingst has since been named after him.
