Theodor Nüttgens
Anton Hubert Theodor Nüttgens (born September 5, 1875 in Aachen ; † February 21, 1956 in Essen - Überruhr ) was a German history and church painter from the Düsseldorf School .
Life
Nüttgens, son of the Aachen tailor Dionys Leo Theobald Nüttgens and his wife Maria Elisabeth, née Maintz, and the younger brother of the church painter Heinrich Nüttgens , studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1898 to 1902 , where, like his brother Heinrich, he learned the late Nazarene style of church painting. On February 6, 1906, he married Wilhelmine Maria Heinz (1881–1949) in Aachen, who gave birth to four sons between 1907 and 1916.
As a student of Friedrich Stummel (from 1921) after his death together with Karl Wenzel (1930) he completed the paintings for the Rosary Basilica in Berlin-Steglitz . Nüttgens settled in Berlin-Lichterfelde and carried out orders for church paintings in Berlin and neighboring regions from there, for example the painting of the nave ceiling of St. Joseph in Luckenwalde in 1939 . An Immaculata on a gold background , which he had created in 1912 for a side altar in the parish church of St. Joseph von Köslin , was sharply criticized for its small head and long figure.
