Philipp Jakob Ihle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipp Jakob Ihle (born September 10, 1736 in Esslingen , † after 1790) was a German art and porcelain painter and court painter to Prince Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg .

family

Ihle was a son of the painter Johann Jakob Ihle († 1774) and his wife Anna Margaretha Maria Zoller († 1785), a daughter of the powder maker Tobias Zoller, chief master and member of the Grand Council of the city of Esslingen. One brother was the painter Johann Eberhard Ihle .

He was married in his first marriage (1761) to Louisa Charlotte Weiß, a daughter of the chief magistrate Jakob Noah Weiß from Großsachsenheim. From this marriage a son and a daughter were born. After 1763 he married Dorothea Sabina, the daughter of pastor Christoph Friedrich Hermann in Aldingen , but the marriage was divorced in 1787. He later entered into a third marriage after moving to Mömpelgard.

life and work

Philipp Jakob Ihle received his training from his father, who worked as a portrait painter in Esslingen. He himself can be traced back to 1760 as a painter, from 1763 to 1770 as an art and porcelain painter in Ludwigsburg at the porcelain manufactory founded by Duke Carl Eugen . Around 1766 he was also active as a theater painter.

In 1769 Ihle painted a 37-part cycle for the parish church in Großsachsenheim with biblical and salvation-historical scenes for the gallery balustrades (only partially preserved). It is possible that the gallery paintings in the parish church in Aldingen were also made by him .

After the decline of the Ludwigsburg residence, he went to Mömpelgard by 1772 at the latest and worked there as court painter to the prince and later Duke Friedrich Eugen, where he was last recorded in 1790. His whereabouts after the rule passed to the French is unknown.
