Wilhelm Wohlgemuth (painter)
Wilhelm Wohlgemuth (* 1870 in Paris , † 1942 in Rome ) was a German painter, draftsman and graphic artist.
Wohlgemuth studied from October 18, 1887 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich with Johann Caspar Herterich . After completing his studies, he went on a study trip to Italy and then worked temporarily in Dresden and Frankfurt am Main. In 1898 he settled in Rome and stayed there for life.
Wohlgemuth was a member of the General German Art Cooperative and the Free Artists' Association of Baden. The animal-human relationship played an important role in his work.
In Günterstal , the southernmost district of Freiburg im Breisgau , Wilhelm's brother, chief magistrate August Wohlgemuth, built a large Tuscan-style villa based on a design by building officer Fritz Seitz ( Villa Wohlgemuth ) between 1906 and 1913 . Wilhelm created wall paintings with a cycle of the four seasons. August Wohlgemuth sold his property in 1927 to the newly founded Congregation of the Benedictine Sisters of St. Lioba von Tauberbischofsheim .
