Richard Hermann Strebel (born June 28, 1861 in Veracruz , Mexico ; † April 3, 1940 in Burghausen ) was a German dog and landscape painter and author of cynological publications.

Life

Strebel was the oldest child of the Hamburg merchant , malacologist and archaeologist Hermann Strebel. He grew up in Veracruz until he was 6 years old. Then the family moved to Hamburg . In 1880 he began his academic training in Kassel with professors Hermann Knackfuß and Koch. In 1881 he moved to the academy in Karlsruhe to the professors Hermann Baisch and Gustav Schönleber .

Numerous study trips fall during this time ( Holstein , Neuhaus am Schliersee , Glücksburg ). In 1886 Strebel moved to Munich . From 1890 onwards, in addition to landscape painting, he increasingly devoted himself to painting animals , in particular depicting dogs. In 1892 he founded the Luitpold Group with numerous other Munich artists , with which he exhibited from then on. He also worked as a dog judge and assessor. Between 1903 and 1905 his two-volume work “The German Dogs and Their Descent” was published, which he provided with numerous illustrations and 27 plates. At the same time, he became a sought-after dog portraitist and worked on various cynological publications as a writer of specialist articles and as an illustrator . In 1919 Strebel moved from Gauting to Raitenhaslach near Burghausen to the Trutzhof . The painter was married to the dog breeder Helene Strebel (née Simons), who bred Schnauzers under the kennel name "Schwabing" . In 1940 he died in Burghausen.
