Professor Hermann Dischler

25th September 1866 – 20th March 1935

Hermann Dischler was born on the 25th of September in 1866 in Freiburg i.Br. He received his artistic training in the art school in Karlsruhe, he was student of Gustav Schönleber. Thereafter he was engaged as a painter in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald area.

1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».

In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.

In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Ludwig Knaus was the most successful painter of the 19th century in Wiesbaden and was particularly appreciated as genre and portrait painter. Together with Anselm Feuerbach he was student of Karl Ferdinand Sohn and Wilhelm von Schadow and developed his own characteristic style quite early. In contrast to his teachers, Knaus preferred subjects of genre painting instead of historical, religious and mythological motifs. Together with the brothers Andreas and Oswald Achenbach, Joseph Fay, Benjamin Vautier and others he founded the artist's association Malkasten, after leaving the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and made his living as sought-after portraitist. His works were also very demanded in Paris, which was target of his journeys several times, and where he was in close contact with Franz Xaver Winterhalter and Anselm Feuerbach. One of the highlights of his career was his participation in the world exhibition in Paris in 1855, for which he created several works. In 1858 he took over Franz Xaver Winterhalter's studio in Paris, in 1874 he was appointed as Royal Prussian Professor at the Akademie der schönen Künste in Berlin.

Ludwig Knaus war der erfolgreichste Wiesbadener Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts und besonders geschätzt als Porträtist und Genremaler. Gemeinsam mit Anselm Feuerbach lernte er als Schüler bei Karl Ferdinand Sohn und Wilhelm von Schadow, fand aber bereits sehr früh zu seinem eigenen Stil. Im Gegensatz zu seinen Lehrern, die mehr historische, religiöse und mythologische Themen pflegten, fand Knaus sein Sujet häufiger in der Genremalerei. Gemeinsam mit den Brüdern Andreas und Oswald Achenbach, Joseph Fay, Benjamin Vautier und anderen gründete er nach dem Verlassen der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf den Malkasten und verdiente sich fortan seinen Lebensunterhalt als gefragter Porträtist. Beliebt waren seine Werke auch in Paris, wohin er wiederholt zahlreiche Reisen unternahm und wo er regen Kontakt zu Franz Xaver Winterhalter und Anselm Feuerbach pflegte. Einer der Höhepunkte seiner künstlerischen Karriere war die Teilnahme an der dortigen Weltausstellung 1855, für die er gleich mehrere Gemälde anfertigte. 1858 übernahm er das Atelier von Franz Xaver Winterhalter in Paris, 1874 wurde er zum Königlich Preußischen Professor der Akademie der schönen Künste in Berlin berufen.
