Jakob Götzenberger (Franz Jakob Julius Götzenberger, Heidelberg 4 November 1802 – Darmstadt 6 October 1866) was a German mural painter and portraitist, a pupil of Peter Cornelius. He spent much of the later part of his career in England. ==Biography== He was born in Heidelberg, and became a pupil of Peter Cornelius in Düsseldorf.〔 Cornelius was a member of the Nazarene Brotherhood which, largely inspired by the artists of the early Italian Renaissance, had promoted the revival of frescoe-painting in Germany.〔 Free download available.〕 A major commission for a set of four frescoes at the "Aula" (auditorium) of the University of Bonn came to Götzenberger through Cornelius. The compositions of the frescoes, each representing one of the four faculties of the university, were, on Cornelius' instructions, based on those of Raphael’s paintings in the ''Stanze'' in the Vatican.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author= Weschenfelder , Klaus )〕 Work began in 1823; initially Götzenberger acted only as an assistant, Cornelius having delegated the main work to Carl Heinrich Hermann. However, in early 1825, with only the first of the four murals, representing ''Theology'' substantially underway, Cornelius left to take up a teaching post in Munich; most of his pupils went with him, and Götzenberger was left with the task of completing the work in Bonn.〔 He spent some time in Italy, where he made the designs for the remaining subjects,〔 finally completing the murals in 1836.〔 They had fallen into disrepair by the early 20th century, and were destroyed by bombing during the Second World War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Rudiger, Julia )〕 Götzenberger was in London in early 1827, and on 2 February was introduced to William Blake by Henry Crabb Robinson. He later said "I saw in England many men of talents, but only three men of Genius, Coleridge, Flaxman and Blake, and of these Blake was the greatest." A cycle of frescoes in the chapel at the Dalberg-Herdingschen Castle in Nierstein, Hesse, made his reputation.〔''New International Encyclopedia'', 1905〕 He was appointed court painter and inspector of the gallery at Mannheim, and in 1844 decorated the loggia of the Trinkhalle (pump room) at Baden-Baden with 14 compositions illustrating legends of the Black Forest region.〔 The paintings survive ''in situ''.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jakob Götzenberger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
