Ludwig Emil Reinhold Carl (born November 22, 1864 in Lucka ; † September 6, 1929 in Leipzig ) was a German sculptor , painter and graphic artist .

Life

Reinhold Carl was the son of the Lucka shoemaker Ferdinand Ludwig Carl and his wife Johanne Christiane Hönig, who was married to him in 1866. At the age of 15 he began training as a bookseller in Leipzig. Reinhold Carl worked from 1880 to 1900 in the profession he had learned. In 1888 he married Anna Laura Thieme (1866–1924). The marriage had two daughters and one son.

At the age of 40, Reinhold Carl turned to the artist profession. With the support of a private scholarship , he studied painting in Rome in 1900 . From 1904 he was represented with his first works in exhibitions of the Leipziger Kunstverein . From 1904 to 1905 he lived again in Rome, where he worked in the studio of Artur Volkmann . In 1906 Reinhold Carl returned to Leipzig and from then on worked as a freelancer. The artist, who received numerous public and private commissions, died in Leipzig. His ashes were buried in the south cemetery.

Creating art

Influenced by the early Italian Renaissance and the Baroque , he initially created reliefs , small sculptures, portrait busts and tombs in the neoclassical style . Reinhold Carl thus stood in the tradition of his role models Adolf von Hildebrand and Artur Volkmann. He later developed naturalistic tendencies and, for example, was involved in furnishing the Leipziger Künstlerhaus with showcase work. His best-known work is the Wettin fountain, which became the landmark of his hometown Lucka. In 1911 he was represented with three sculptural works at the Leipzig annual exhibition. He was also given representative orders for the construction of the New Town Hall and the German Library in Leipzig. His oeuvre also includes paintings, drawings, votive tablets and etchings . His art shows a high level of artistic expression and quality.
