Stephan Kellner
Johann Stephan Kellner (born October 25, 1812 in Bruckberg , † July 26, 1867 in Nuremberg ) was a German glass painter .
Life
Johann Stephan Kellner was a son of Johann Jacob Kellner (* 1788 in Nuremberg). This, the son of an engraver, was initially employed in the Klinger art dealer and was instructed in drawing by Ambrosius Gabler. He then did an apprenticeship as a porcelain painter in the porcelain factory in Bruckberg and returned to Nuremberg in 1821. Three sons were born during his stay in Bruckberg: Johann Georg in 1811, Johann Stephan in 1812, and Johann Gustav Herrmann in 1814. All three sons learned porcelain painting and attended the Nuremberg art school and the polytechnic school newly founded by Carl Alexander Heideloff for further training .
Kellner's father made his first attempts at glass painting around 1828, and the family business soon became an important glass painting manufacturer, whose works were also exported abroad.
From 1846 Stephan Kellner ran his own workshop on his own. His sons Samuel Benjamin (1848–1905) and Hermann (II., 1849–1926) continued the workshop.
His brother Hermann (I., 1814–1877) restored the glass windows of the Ulm Minster and opened his own workshop in Friedrichshafen , which was taken over by his sons.
