Theodor Nocken
Wilhelm Theodor Nocken (* 1830 in Düsseldorf ; † 1905 there ) was a German landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School .
Life
As a ten-year-old house painter, Nocken attended the “Sunday class of craftsmen in free hand drawing” by Joseph Keller in 1840 and the “building class” in Rudolf Wiegmann's “Sunday class for craftsmen” at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 1843 . With the professional goal of “painter” he attended the “elementary class” there in 1844 and finally the “landscape class” of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer from 1847 to 1850 . In the third quarter of the school year 1850 he finished his studies to go to the military.
Nocken settled as a landscape painter in Düsseldorf. His most important subject were alpine landscapes from Bavaria and Austria, which he described in a romanticizing and idyllic way. More rarely he painted motifs from the Rhineland and Westphalia.
