Life
Theobald von Oer was the son of the Westphalian district administrator Clemens Freiherr von Oer . His brother Maximilian Freiherr von Oer (1806–1846) became a writer. Already in his childhood he liked to paint and draw with great talent. At the age of twelve he fell ill with scarlet fever and as a result lost his hearing and sometimes his speech. At the age of 19 he began studying at the Royal Academy of Art in Dresden (now the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts ). There he quickly became a master student and switched to further studies at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . From 1832 to 1836 he was a student of Theodor Hildebrandt and Wilhelm Schadow there . From 1832 he exhibited in Düsseldorf.
From March 20, 1837 to June 11, 1839 Oer stayed in Rome , where he took part in the "Cervaro Festival" of the Ponte Molle Society , in 1839 with the title "Salad Inspector".
From 1839 Oer lived in Dresden . On October 12, 1840, he married Marie Schumann (1816–1878), who was born in Dresden, daughter of the President of the Higher Appeal Court Ernst Schumann; The marriage resulted in several children, such as Anna Maria von Oer , who also became a painter.
Theobald von Oer was appointed honorary member of the Royal Saxon Academy of Fine Arts and a professor of the Grand-Ducal Saxon . He died in 1885 and found his final resting place in the Old Catholic Cemetery in Dresden.

His focus was history painting. He thanked his trip to Italy for an important influence on his style.
In 1860 he created the painting The Weimar Court of the Muses . It shows the playwright Friedrich Schiller in the company of a society in the park of Schloss Tiefurt . On loan from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin , it now hangs in the office of the German President in Bellevue Palace .
One of the best-known commissioned works by Oers is Die Fürstin Gallitzin with her friends from 1864. The picture shows the Princess with her friends from the “Familia Sacra” in front of her house in Angelmodde near Münster (see details on the people depicted in the painting the article on the princess). The picture, which is now in the possession of the diocese of Münster , was only created 64 years after the historical encounter. The Berlin artist Paul Dröhmer made a large number of copper engravings based on this painting.
In 1874 he portrayed the archaeologist Johann Joachim Winckelmann in the library of Schloss Nöthnitz in a fictional circle of scholars. The cycle From Schiller's Life (6 postcards from the art publisher FA Ackermann, Munich) was widely used .
