Max Wilhelm Roman (born April 30, 1849 in Freiburg ; † May 8, 1910 in Karlsruhe ) was a German landscape painter and lithographer .

life and work

Max Roman was born in Freiburg im Breisgau in the Grand Duchy of Baden during the German Revolution of 1848/1849 .

He completed his studies in Nuremberg. In 1871 he went on study trips to Italy with Emil Lugo , whose student he was . In 1872 near Rome he painted the landscape Olevano Romano on Monte Celeste. The area was the destination of numerous European painters in the mid-19th century. Many more trips to the south of Europe, especially to Italy, followed in his life.

Back in Germany in 1873, Max Roman studied from 1874 to 1883 in Karlsruhe at the Grand Ducal Baden Art School and was a student of Hans Fredrik Gude , Eugen Bracht and Gustav Schönleber .

With his younger brother Victor Roman (1841-1916), who was a drawing teacher at the Bender'schen teaching institutes in Weinheim , he often wandered through the Black Forest . The impressions of courtyards, villages and landscapes that were collected in the process were reflected in Roman's many pictures. The Gutach valley with the Gutach painters' colony was one of the goals. The picture “Steinadeshof” was created here.

In 1886 Roman took up a teaching position at the school for female painters founded in Karlsruhe in October 1885 , and from 1895 took over the management of this art school .

For the books The Black Forest of the author Wilhelm Jensen Max Roman made around 1890, as well as William Hare man , Emil Lugo, Karl Eyth illustrations .

In 1891 he married the painter and graphic artist Käthe Roman-Försterling (* 1871) from Dresden , daughter of the painter Otto Försterling . She worked as a book jewelery artist and ceramist , had studied in Karlsruhe, and taught flower painting at the "school for female painters" and also worked at the Karlsruhe School of Applied Arts.

Max Roman and his wife Käthe Roman-Försterling were members of the Künstlerbund Karlsruhe around 1899.

Max Roman died in 1910 at the age of 61. His wife Käthe had previously moved back to their place of birth in Dresden with their children Maria and Wilhelm. It was said that she had given up teaching in 1907 due to the illness of her children. But the reason was probably something else. Her husband Max Roman and her mother had incapacitated her. Käthe was divorced from her husband and apparently lived in psychiatric treatment.
