Sebastian Carl Christoph Reinhardt (born December 13, 1738 in Ortenburg in Lower Bavaria , † May 30, 1827 in Hirschberg in Silesia ) was a German landscape painter .

Life and work

His parents were the Evangelical Lutheran pastor and court preacher Johann Gottlieb Reinhardt and his wife Maria Susanna, b. Kraer. His grandfather Friedrich Reinhardt came from Kirchhain in Niederlausitz. After the family moved to Regensburg, they attended the Protestant - imperial city " Gymnasium Poeticum ". From 1760 he studied art at the " Collegium Carolinum " in Braunschweig with Professor Eding and in the former ducal-Braunschweig picture gallery of Salzdahlum Castle under director Pusch. A trip that served further study purposes took him via Hamburg to Amsterdam .

After an extensive wandering which led him to the Harz Mountains, Leipzig , Dresden , Berlin and Potsdam , he made the acquaintance of Adrian Zingg in Dresden . He achieved his first major fame in 1788 at the Berlin Academy Exhibition through his vedute of Potsdam. In 1788, Minister Friedrich Anton von Heynitz appointed him extraordinary member of the Academy of Arts in Berlin. At the request of the academy, Reinhardt traveled to Silesia in the Giant Mountains from 1789 . Günther Grundmann has therefore called Reinhardt “the first painter of the Giant Mountains”. Later painters in the Giant Mountains were Christoph Nathe (1753–1806), Anton Balzer (1771–1807) and Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840). Reinhardt was regularly involved in the Berlin Academy exhibitions from 1787 to 1824 and showed a total of 67 pictures there.

In 1791 he married Johanna Margarethe Brückner (1752-1811) from Hirschberg. His son Carl Heinrich Otto was born in 1793, but died in the same year. Reinhardt spent his twilight years in Hirschberg in the house of Johann Daniel Hess (1764-1854), the director of the Hirschberg sugar factory. He died on May 30, 1827 in Hirschberg and was buried in the Protestant cemetery near the Gnadenkirche , his grave no longer exists.
