Otto Barone Hierl-Deronco (born July 28, 1859 in Memmingen , † May 29, 1935 in Munich ) was a German painter and co-founder of the Munich Secession .
Life
As the son of the royal Bavarian District Court Councilor Dr. Alois Hierl and the alto Priska geb. Lautner grows up Otto Hierl-Deronco as the second of three children in Munich.
The intellectual and artistic society in his parents' house shaped his development early on. The close friends of the family include Viktor Scheffel , Ludwig von der Pfordten , Max von Pettenkofer and Eduard von Bomhard .
Due to the relationship with the Italian family of Count Ricciardelli, there was intensive contact with Italy at an early stage.
In 1886 Hierl-Deronco married the daughter of the general manager of the royal court theater Karl von Perfall , Julie.
In 1905 he was appointed professor at the Munich Art Academy . The friendship with Franz von Lenbach and Franz von Stuck was also formative for Hierl-Deronco's life .
Munich Secession
On April 4, 1892, 96 artists founded the Munich Association of Visual Artists in the Kunstgewerbehaus , later called the Munich Secession . Otto Hierl-Deronco is already one of the signatories of the appeal that 20 artists wrote on February 29, 1892 to break away from the conservative art business of the Munich artists' cooperative led by Franz von Lenbach .
Otto Hierl-Deronco took part in the exhibitions of the Secession in 1893, 1896, and the International Art Exhibition in 1905 in the Glaspalast in Munich . At the age of 22, after detailed studies in Paris, he painted the large history painting “Capture of Louis XVI. in Varennes ”, then“ Assault on the Tuileries ”, which give rise to its reputation. Hierl-Deronco achieved international fame primarily for his Eight Portraits of His Holiness the Pope Pius the Tenth of 1907. In total, he created a cycle of 17 portraits in Rome, in addition to the Pope portraits, three times the Cardinal State Secretary Merry del Val (including the double portrait with Pope), Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal Deacon Bisleti .
In 1938 Otto Hierl-Deronco's work “My Garden” was posthumously banned as Degenerate Art and removed from the Lenbachhaus .
