Life

Born the son of a bank clerk, Recknagl studied since October 13, 1881 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich in the class of antiquities. After completing his studies, he dealt with genre painting and portrait painting, but also created some landscapes. After 1921 he created several portraits of Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber .

The Heinemann Gallery in Munich bought and sold four paintings , a Tyrolean (1897) to London, a Tyrolean (1898) to Cologne, The Snuff (1899) to Dresden and A Good Pipe (1904) to New York. Some of his motifs appeared as artist postcards . Art prints of his folk portraits ( embroidering lady , hunter with pipe ) are still popular exhibits for folkloric and historicizing “peasant parlors” today. In 1907 the drawing of a female study head was shown in the monthly booklet of Velhagen & Klasing and a text was written about it. The painting for the study was offered at auction at the end of 2016.

The artists Carl Strathmann , Alexander von Salzmann and Adelbert Niemeyer also had the same at the time Address their joint studio. Around 1903 Recknagl had his studio at Pettenkoferstraße 28.
