The 19th century was a vibrant period of artistic creation in Germany, and a central protagonist of this era was Philipp Christian Ludwig Knaus. Born on October 5, 1829 in the romantic town of Wiesbaden and dying on December 7, 1910 in the cultural capital of Berlin, Knaus unfolded his impressive career as a major artist and a shining pillar of the Düsseldorf School of Painting. In the hues of his brush and the motifs of his works, was found the pulse of Germany at that time. Knaus' skills spanned from genre painting to portraiture and even found their way into the advertising industry. His works gained widespread popularity through engravings and photographs, and it's no wonder that our high-quality fine art prints bring these works to life and capture their historic magic.
Knaus' early life was marked by the discovery of his artistic passion. The son of an optician who had moved from Waiblingen to Wiesbaden, Knaus found his "urge to paint off" early on. Under the tutelage of Philipp Jakob Albrecht, his drawing teacher from school, and the ducal court painter Otto Reinhold Jacobi, Knaus began his journey into the world of art. At the age of 16, Knaus joined the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he formed his artistic path under the guidance of Karl Ferdinand Sohn and Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow. However, instead of imitating the religious and mythological subjects of his teachers, Knaus discovered his preference for genre painting. Thus he produced works such as "The Peasant Dance" (1850), "The False Players" (1851), and "The Bee Father" (1851). In the following decades, Knaus completed an artistic odyssey that took him from Düsseldorf to Paris, then the cultural capital of Europe, and finally back to Germany. His works won numerous awards and his skills as a portraitist were known far and wide. His painting carried the touch of the real, captured in the detail of his brushwork and the intensity of his colors that bring each of our art prints to life.
In his old age, Knaus was appointed Royal Prussian Professor and headed a master studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. His final years were marked by travels that took him to London, Vienna, Budapest, Paris and Rome. For all his artistic achievements, however, the fact remains that Knaus was the most successful Wiesbaden painter of the 19th century - an honor that art history preserves to this day. When you look at an art print by Knaus today, you not only discover the craft of a masterful painter, but also immerse yourself in the soul of the 19th century. Every brushstroke, every color choice, every composition captures a piece of that bygone era and brings it to life in our present. They convey a sense of realism and intimacy that captures both the aesthetics and social context of the time. Although the originals are in museums and private collections around the world, these art prints allow us to glimpse the artistic legacy of Philipp Christian Ludwig Knaus and take us on a journey into the past.
