Rudolf Pohle (sculptor)
Rudolf Pohle (born March 19, 1837 in Berlin ; † August 1, 1920 in Berlin) was a German sculptor .
Life
Pohle studied from 1855 to 1858 at the Royal Prussian Academy of the Arts in Berlin. Then became a student of Friedrich Drake , who taught him the art of the Berlin sculpture school after Christian Daniel Rauch , whose student he was. Pohle followed his teacher in his milder style, "who strives for the expression of full life and strong and deep feelings". He combined the serious dignity of outward appearance and deep feeling, especially in his grave figures. The production of tomb sculptures was his artistic focus for several years. At the beginning of the 1880s he received the order for Eberswalde to produce a memorial for the Oberlandforstmeister von Hagen. A marble monument for Alois Senefelder , the inventor of lithography , followed in 1892 on Senefelderplatz in Berlin. It was the first monument to a craftsman at the time. Another work by Pohl was a life-size female marble figure depicting Gottfried August Bürger's Leonore who, when she received the news of the death of her lover, collapsed in mourning. The statue bore the inscription: “Lisch aus, mein Licht, for ever, die. die in night and gray! There is no mercy with God; Oh woe, woe me poor. ”Pohle gave this figure from 1888 to the city of Charlottenburg.
He also carried out sculptural work for the chapel of the Berlin City Palace or for the Tiele-Winckler Palace .
