Philipp Schirmer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Philipp Schirmer (* 1810 in Jülich , Département de la Roer , † 1871 in Kettwig , Essen district ) was a German landscape and portrait painter from the Düsseldorf School and a photographer .

Life

Schirmer was the third oldest son of the Jülich bookbinder Johann Gottlob Schirmer (1763-1826) and his wife Wilhelmine Johanna Christina Schirmer, born von Breitschwert (1768-1841). His older brother was the well-known Düsseldorf landscape painter Johann Wilhelm Schirmer , whom he accompanied on a study trip to the Ahr in 1829. Like his brother, Schirmer attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy , from 1830 onwards at the same time. Heinrich Christoph Kolbe , Karl Ferdinand Sohn and Theodor Hildebrandt were his teachers there between 1830 and 1833 . He also received guidance from Leonhard Rausch , a landscape painter who, like himself and his brother, had come to the Düsseldorf Academy from Jülich. In addition to being a painter, Schirmer was also a photographer. A portrait photograph of Schirmer's brother Johann Wilhelm from around 1860 is known. Schirmer lived as a painter in Mühlenstrasse in Düsseldorf's old town until 1853 , after which he moved to Kettwig. In Kettwig he created portraits of the industrialist family Julius Scheidt (1813–1874), who were friends with him.
