Olof August Andreas (Anders) Jernberg (born May 23, 1855 in Düsseldorf , † February 15, 1935 in Berlin ) was a German landscape and marine painter from the Düsseldorf School of Painting .

Life

Jernberg was the son of the Swedish genre painter August Jernberg . He grew up in the painter milieu of Düsseldorf, where he lived from 1865 at Jägerhofstrasse 23 and from 1869 at Rosenstrasse 7 in Pempelfort , on the edge of the Hofgarten . After graduating from the Realgymnasium in 1870, he attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy until 1875/1876 . At first he was a student of Andreas Müller and Heinrich Lauenstein . Then he attended Carl Müller's class of antiquities . His studies were briefly interrupted by the fire at the academy in Düsseldorf Palace . He continued it in Eugen Dücker's class , whose private student he was until 1879 and whose landscape painting had a decisive influence on him. In 1880/1881 he stayed in France, at times together with Hugo Salmson , who advised him. There he came into contact with French painting, especially with the Barbizon school and the works of the painters Jean-François Millet and Théodore Rousseau , and solidified his penchant for outdoor painting . The stay in France was followed by other trips, for example to Sweden. In Katwijk , in whose artist colony he frequented, he met the American photographer Alfred Stieglitz , among others . From 1882 to 1898 he worked as Dücker's assistant teacher at the Düsseldorf Academy. In 1889 in Düsseldorf - as a reaction to the exhibition policy of the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen - with Heinrich Hermanns , Eugen Kampf and Helmuth Liesegang, he founded the "Lucas Club", a progressive association of landscape painters, inspired by the Hague School and the Barbizon School sought to combine the achievements of Impressionism . In 1891 the "Lucas Club" was subordinated to the newly founded Free Association of Düsseldorf Artists , from which, however, in 1899 the "St. Lukas Club "(founded by Hermanns, Jernberg, Liesegang, August Deusser , Otto Heichert , Arthur Kampf , Gustav Wendling , among others ) and the" Vereinigung von 1899 "split off. He was also a member of the academic artists 'association "Orient", and from 1880 to 1897 he was also a member of the "Malkasten" artists' association . In 1890 he moved to Angermund , where he “discovered” the landscape of the Lower Rhine . After he was awarded the title of professor in 1897/1898, he was appointed to the Königsberg Art Academy in 1901 , before taking over the management of a landscape class at the Berlin Art Academy from Friedrich Kallmorgen from 1918 until his death in 1935 . An artistic reorientation was associated with Berlin. A solo exhibition at the Düsseldorf Art Palace in 1922 paid tribute to him. Jernberg's pupils were in particular Otto Serner , Hermann Bahner , Theo von Brockhusen , Hermann Busse , Richard Falkenberg , Heinz Heinrichs and Maria Cleff . Jernberg had a daughter, Marie-Jeanne, whom his friend Arthur Kampf painted in 1894 when he was six.

Jernberg's landscape painting followed the naturalism of his teacher Eugen Dücker and was characterized by strong colorism and dynamic brushwork. In the course of his development he turned more and more to Impressionism , one of whose "pioneers" among the painters of the Düsseldorf School he counts.
