Wilhelm Maria Hubertus Leibl (Colonia 1844 - Würzburg 1900)
|
German painter. After studying at the Munich Academy, he felt the decisive influence of G. Courbet's painting, during the latter's stay in Munich (1869) and during a subsequent six-month stay in Paris. In contact with J. Sperl, H. Thoma, C. Schuch, K. Hagemeister, he was considered the leader of German realism but opposed by academic circles. Having retired, in 1873, to live in the Bavarian Prealps, he painted with a firm and clear spirit of observation, with a refined taste for color and for compact and limpid form. Among his works: Cocotte (1869, Cologne, Wallraf-Richartz Museum), which documents Courbet's immediate impression; Peasant Woman of Dachau (1874-75, Berlin, Stiftung Staatliche Museen); The Village Politicians (1871, Winterthur, Stiftung O. Reinhart); Three Women in Church (1882, Hamburg, Kunsthalle), numerous beautiful portraits (Countess Rosina von Treuberg, 1878, Hamburg, Kunsthalle). In 1892 he was appointed professor at the Royal Bavarian Academy.
