Rudisühli

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rüdisühli was a Swiss artist family of painters, copper engravers and copyists who were succeeded by Böcklin in the mid-19th to early 20th centuries from Basel .

Eduard, Hermann, Louise and Michael Rüdisühli received their first training from their father Jakob Lorenz, who mainly devoted himself to landscape painting and sentimental Böcklin interpretations.

While his sons then attended the Basel School of Applied Arts , Louise trained herself to become a talented portraitist and painter of landscapes that stood out from the works of her brothers who paraphrased Böcklin's world of motifs. While her paintings no longer enjoyed recognition in art circles after the First World War, they were able to survive as color reproductions and art cards until the 1930s.
