Rudolf Schick (painter)
Rudolf Schick (born August 8, 1840 in Berlin ; † February 26, 1887 there ) was a German genre , portrait and landscape painter .
In 1858 he began his studies at the Royal Prussian Academy of the Arts in Berlin with Wilhelm Schirmer .
He spent the period from 1861 to 1862 in Bavaria, mainly in Munich and Brannenburg . Then he continued his studies in Berlin.
In the summer of 1864 he received the great state price for history painters for the picture "Prometheus bound by Oceanus and the Nereids", which allowed him to visit Paris and London . Schick also visited Tyrol and Italy .
In Rome he was influenced by Arnold Böcklin . In 1868, Jacob Burckhardt brokered the order for Karl Sarasin to furnish Böcklin with three frescoes in a garden room in his house in Basel . Böcklin asked Rudolf Schick to support him with the execution. The three murals Rast on the Flight to Egypt , King David with the Harp and The Walk to Emmaus , which are now in the Kunstmuseum Basel , were completed within two months .
In 1869, Schick returned to Berlin. Back in Italy he copied several pictures of the Italian Renaissance on behalf of the art collector Fritz von Farenheid from Beynuhnen .
Schick provided 43 illustrations for the work "Italy" published by Engelhorn Verlag in Stuttgart .
After 1876 he created several Italian landscapes with staffage that show Böcklin's influence.
In addition to landscape painting, Schick also worked on portraits, including the large family portrait (1878) by the Lüdecke Chamber of Commerce in Berlin in a Thuringian landscape.
Married in 1879, he visited Italy again with his young wife. He died in Berlin eight years later.
