The Illustrator of Fairy Tales
Ludwig Richter was born on September 28, 1803, in Dresden. His first art teacher was his father, Carl August Richter, a well-known draftsman and engraver.
During his travels through France and Italy from 1820-1826, he formed friendships with other artists. Here, he gathered ideas, discovered the harmonies of nature, and observed people. This experience shaped and solidified his painting style.
Richter's early works included etched views of Dresden. Among his most famous paintings are "Der Watzmann," "Überfahrt am Schreckenstein," and "Genoveva."
From 1836 to 1876, he was a professor at the Dresden Academy, responsible for courses in landscape and animal painting. Later, he was appointed Professor of Landscape Painting there.
In 1842, Richter reached the peak of his career. He illustrated fairy tale books, including those by the Brothers Grimm, Andersen, and Musäus. Some of these were awarded as the most beautiful illustrations of the 19th century. As a book illustrator, he gained the greatest popularity. He illustrated over 150 books and created more than 2,000 woodcuts. Notable are the drawings in the collections: "Beschauliches und Erbauliches," "Goethe-Album," "Vaterunser," "Schillers Lied von der Glocke," "Voer de Goern," "Füurs Haus," "Der Sonntag," "Neuer Strauß fürs Haus," "Unser tägliches Brot," and "Gesammeltes."
In 1873, Richter had to give up painting due to a severe eye disease. He passed away in 1884 in his hometown of Dresden, where he was lavishly buried.
