Düsseldorf, 15 May 1855; d Eddelsen, nr Hannover, 1 Dec 1928). German
painter and etcher. The son of the late Romantic landscape painter Eduard
Stanislaus, Graf von Kalckreuth (1820–94), he studied from 1875 to 1878
under Ferdinand Schauss (1832–1916), Willem Linnig (1819–85) and
Alexander Struys (1852-1941) at the Kunstschule in Weimar was founded by
his father. In 1879, after military service, he enrolled at the Akademie
in Munich, where he attended Gyula Benczúr’s drawing classes and
continued his study of paintings under Karl Theodor von Piloty and
Wilhelm von Diez (1839–1907). In 1883 he travelled to The Netherlands and
then to Italy and France. In 1885 he accepted a teaching appointment at
the Kunstschule in Weimar, but in 1890 he resigned and returned to
Munich. During the next five years he worked at Höckricht in Silesia (now
Jedrzychowice, Poland), perfecting his oil technique. In 1892 he was a
founder-member of the Munich Secession. Kalckreuth’s work from this
period reflects the influence of several contemporaries; the portrait of
the Artist’s Wife of 1888 (Leipzig, Mus. Gesch.) recalls the portraits of
Franz von Lenbach and Max Liebermann, while the visionary element brought
to the genre scene Rainbow (1894-06; Munich, Neue Pinakotek.) is close to
the work of Fritz von Uhde.
