Karl Raupp

Karl Raupp (2 March 1837 – 14 June 1918) was a German landscape and genre painter.

Biography

He was born in Darmstadt. After studying genre painting under Jakob Becker at the Städel Institute in Frankfurt, he became a pupil and zealous follower of Piloty in Munich from 1860 to 1865, and he soon gathered a small school there. After 1865, he opened a studio, taking private pupils in painting. In 1868 his reputation as a teacher gained for him the position of professor in the art school at Nuremberg, where he stayed until 1879, when he returned to his former residence to become professor at the art academy in Munich. He died in 1918 in Munich.

• “In the Face of the Storm” (1885, Dresden Gallery)
• “Peace” (1889, National Gallery, Berlin)
• “Serious Meeting” (1889, Münster Gallery)
