Art by color

Early Life and Training

Frank Duveneck, an American figure and portrait painter, was born on October 9, 1848, in Covington, Kentucky. His father, Bernhard Decker, a German immigrant, passed away when Frank was just a year old due to a cholera epidemic. This event led to his mother remarrying Joseph Duveneck. By the age of fifteen, Duveneck began studying art under Johann Schmitt, a local painter, and was apprenticed to a German firm of church decorators. His early exposure to the German community in Cincinnati, Ohio, across the Ohio River, significantly influenced his artistic style.

Artistic Evolution and Notable Works

Duveneck's work initially went unnoticed in Covington but gained significant attention when showcased at the Boston Art Club in 1875. This breakthrough led to a flock of pupils, including John Twachtman, Otto Bacher, and Julius Rolshoven, who became known as the "Duveneck Boys." Some of his most famous works include:

Lady with Fan (1873), which showcases Duveneck's debt to Frans Hals' dark palette and slashing brushwork.
The Whistling Boy (1872), another example of his adherence to the dark, realistic style learned from Wilhelm von Diez and Wilhelm Leibl at the Royal Academy of Munich.

Teaching and Later Life

In 1886, Duveneck married Elizabeth Boott, a Boston-born artist who had been one of his students. After her death in 1892, Duveneck's productivity slowed, but he continued to teach at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Notable pupils include Ida Holterhoff Holloway, John Christen Johansen, and Russel Wright. Duveneck spent summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts, visiting his son and painting en plein air.

Legacy and Public Collections

Duveneck's work can be found at various museums, including:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City
The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
The Cincinnati Art Museum

Early Life and Training

Frank Duveneck, a prominent figure in the American art scene, was born on October 9, 1848, in Covington, Kentucky. His father, Bernhard Decker, a German immigrant, passed away when Frank was just one year old, and his mother later remarried Joseph Duveneck. This heritage would significantly influence Duveneck's artistic style. By the age of 15, Duveneck began studying art under Johann Schmitt, a local painter, and was apprenticed to a German firm of church decorators. This early exposure laid the groundwork for his future success.

Artistic Evolution and Notable Works

In 1869, Duveneck traveled to Munich to study with Wilhelm von Diez and Wilhelm Leibl at the Royal Academy of Munich. This period marked a pivotal shift in his style, embracing a dark, realistic, and direct approach to painting. Some of Duveneck's most celebrated works include:

Lady with Fan (1873), showcasing his debt to the dark palette and slashing brushwork of Frans Hals.
The Whistling Boy (1872), another example of his early, expressive style.
The Cobbler's Apprentice (1877), oil on canvas, now at the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Teaching and Legacy

In 1878, Duveneck opened a school in Munich and later in Polling, Bavaria. His students, known as the "Duveneck Boys," included John Twachtman, Otto Bacher, Julius Rolshoven, and John White Alexander. After returning to America, Duveneck taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Notable pupils included Ida Holterhoff Holloway, John Christen Johansen, M. Jean McLane, Edward Charles Volkert, Russel Wright, Charles Mills, and Herman and Bessie Wessel.

Later Life and Death

Duveneck passed away on January 3, 1919, in Covington, Kentucky. His work can be found in various museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Cincinnati Art Museum.
