The German artistic landscape has been enriched by numerous gifted painters and illustrators, but few have left such an enduring legacy as Hermann Vogel, also known as Hermann Vogel-Plauen. Born on October 16, 1854 in Plauen, Vogtland, the son of a master mason, his passion for art led him to the Dresden Art Academy, where he studied under the tutelage of Ludwig Richter. Later, during a period of residence in Italy, he joined the German Society of Artists in Rome as a founding member. This time in Italy shaped his artistic understanding and paved the way for his later career in Dresden and Loschwitz.
Vogel was known for his work with the publishing house Braun & Schneider and for his regular contributions to the magazine "Fliegende Blätter" and to Julius Lohmeyer's "Deutsche Jugend". In the early part of his career, Vogel was strongly inspired by the Nazarene movement, but later he turned to a general late Romantic view. Among the artists who influenced his work, in addition to Ludwig Richter, were Moritz Ludwig von Schwind and Carl Spitzweg. With us you will find a comprehensive selection of art prints that reflect Vogel's unique artistic vision and talent as an illustrator.
A significant milestone in Vogel's career was represented by his illustrations in renowned literary works, including "Selected Fairy Tales" by Hans Christian Andersen, "Folk Tales of the Germans" by Johann Karl August Musäus, and "The Nibelungen" by Gustav Schalk. His impressive portfolio also included the Hermann Vogel Album, published in four volumes between 1896 and 1908. In addition, several works that were printed in the Leipzig illustrated magazine "Die Gartenlaube" were penned by him. It is noteworthy that Vogel is also considered the creator of the "Vaillant Hare". In 1899, he received a small gold medal for his work at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition. Hermann Vogel spent the last years of his life at his country estate in Krebes, where he was also buried. By reproducing his works as art prints, his rich and varied legacy will continue to live on and inspire generations of art lovers.
