Philipp Röth (born March 18, 1841 in Darmstadt , † May 20, 1921 in Munich ) was a painter and draftsman of the late Romanticism and Impressionism .

Life

Röth began studying in Darmstadt in 1855 with August Lucas and Karl Ludwig Seeger . From 1859 to 1860 Röth attended the painting class of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer at the Karlsruhe Art Academy and around 1861 again in Darmstadt with the Grand Ducal Hessian court painter Paul Weber , who would later also become his father-in-law.

Via Düsseldorf , where he worked as a freelance artist between 1864 and 1870, absorbed the influences of the Düsseldorf School of Painting and last lived at Jägerhofstrasse 1 in the Hofgartenhaus , he finally came to Munich and lived and worked in Haimhausen and Dachau , a center of open-air painting at that time.

Röth is one of the most important representatives of the paysage intimate in Germany. His depictions of nature show a keen interest in reproducing moods of the year, time of day and weather. In his late work Röth turned to Impressionism.

In what is now the Nederling district of Munich , on a linden tree that is more than 300 years old, a plaque commemorates the painter and one of his favorite motifs. This is known today as Röth-Linde . Philipp Röth often sat under her and painted landscapes, which is why she was named after him.

Röth married Pauline Weber, daughter of the painter Paul Weber , with whom he had the daughters Paula and Vicki.
