Life
Paul von Merveldt, scion of the Westphalian noble family Merveldt , was one of eight sons of the royal Prussian Rittmeister a. D. and bailiff von Salzkotten Klemens August Graf von Merveldt (1815–1885) from his second marriage to Marianne “Jenny” Theresia, née Sorga (1836–1897), born in Salzkotten. One of his brothers was the politician Felix von Merveldt .
In 1890 and 1891 Paul von Merveldt studied painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . There were Hugo Crola and Heinrich Lauenstein his teachers. He settled in Düsseldorf , where he lived at Karl-Anton-Strasse 7 in 1898. In 1903 the magazine Die Zukunft, published by Maximilian Harden in Berlin, identified him with Otto Ackermann , Fritz von Wille and Julius Bergmann as a painter of a "new tone" movement that seemed to shout "Los von Düsseldorf!" As part of the Great Art and Horticultural Exhibition in Düsseldorf in 1904 , he took on a board function in preparing and managing this event.
On April 27, 1907, he married Elisabeth Freiin von Brenken (1868–1944) in Linzenich . A daughter Elisabeth (1908–1964) born at Schloss Wocklum emerged from this marriage . A few months before his untimely death, he had a historical collection of art objects from the family estate auctioned off at Marienfeld Castle in the Lempertz art auction house in Cologne.
Paul von Merveldt was a member of the General German Art Cooperative .
