HILDEBRANDT, THEODOR (1804-1874)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 461 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HILDEBRANDT, THEODOR (1804-1874) , German painter, was born at Stettin. He was a disciple of the painter Schadow, and, on Schadow's appointment to the presidency of a new
academy
  in the Rhenish provinces in 1828, followed that master to Dusseldorf. Hildebrandt began by painting pictures illustrative of Goethe and Shakespeare; but in this form he followed the traditions of the stage rather than the
laws
  of nature. He produced rapidly " Faust and Mephistopheles " (1824), " Faust and Margaret " (1825), and " Lear and Cordelia " (1828). He visited the Netherlands with Schadow in 1829, and wandered alone in 1830 to Italy; but travel did not alter his style, though it led him to cultivate alternately eclecticism and realism. At Dusseldorf, about 183o, he produced " Romeo and Juliet," " Tancred and Clorinda," and other works which deserved to be classed with earlier paintings; but during the same period he exhibited (1829) the " Robber " and (1832) the " Captain and his Infant Son," examples of an affected but kindly realism which captivated the public, and marked to a certain extent an epoch in Prussian art. The picture which made Hildebrandt's fame is the " Murder of the Children of King
Edward
  " (1836), of which the
original
 , afterwards frequently copied, still belongs to the Spiegel collection at Halberstadt. Comparatively
late
  in life Hildebrandt tried his powers as an historical painter in pictures representing Wolsey and
Henry
  VIII., but he lapsed again into the romantic in " Othello and Desdemona." After 1847 Hildebrandt gave himself up to portrait-painting, and in that branch succeeded in obtaining a large practice. He died at Dusseldorf in 1874.
