Otto Gebler
Otto Gebler (born September 18, 1838 in Dresden , † January 30, 1917 in Munich ) was a German animal painter .
Career
Otto Gebler studied painting first at the academy in his hometown and then at the Munich one, where he particularly followed up with Karl Theodor von Piloty . He primarily made the sheep the subject of his studies and soon achieved such a skill in the characteristics of this animal that, supported by a juicy, glossy coloring, he was equal to the North German sheep painter Brendel , which was previously regarded as an unsurpassable specialty . He made the sheep objects of physiognomic studies and developed an astonishing versatility in the reproduction of the types.
Works
Its main images are:
- Unruly sheep
- The disturbed house peace
- Flock of Returning Sheep (1870)
- Resting sheep at the edge of the forest
- The Art Critics in the Stable (1873)
- Sheep in front of a painter's easel, in the Berlin National Gallery
- The visit to the stable
- Coming home through the water
- Two poachers
Excellent works
For the picture Sheep in front of a painter's easel , he received the small gold medal at the Berlin exhibition in 1874.
In recent years he has expanded his painterly spectrum to include dogs. Such a picture, Reineke's end (fox and three dachshunds), was awarded a second medal at the international exhibition in Munich and bought for the Pinakothek there .
