Life

Reinhold Max Eichler: Self-Portrait (1911)

Reinhold Max Eichler was born in Hubertusburg, Mutzschen in Saxony in 1872 as the son of a farmer. He first studied at the Dresden Art Academy from 1889 to 1893. He then moved to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in the painting classes of Paul Hoecker . In 1896 he became an employee of the youth and the Simplicissimus , for whom he made illustrations , and in 1899 a member of the artists' association Die Scholle . From 1903 he worked exclusively for the youth . The artists' association Die Scholle included Eichler, Gustav Bechler , Hansl Bock , Ludwig Bock , Edward Cucuel , Erich Erler (-Samaden), Fritz Erler , Max Feldbauer , Walter Georgi , Adolf Höfer , Adolf Münzer , Walter Püttner , Leo Putz , and Franz Wilhelm Voigt , Robert Weise .

Eichler chose mainly female nudes and the landscape as motifs (especially the Bavarian region of Holzhausen am Ammersee ), but also heroic scenes. He later received the title of professor.

Grünwald: Altar fresco The Sermon on the Mount in the Evangelical St. Thomas Church. The elaborate, large-format fresco (4.5 m × 6.5 m) is one of Eichler's most important works, which he created in 54 so-called daily works at the age of 62 (1935). The altar fresco was examined and restored by an art historian and two restorers in the years up to 2008, so that today it has been torn from oblivion and shines again in its original colors and expressiveness. For today's Christians it proclaims God's love for us humans.
