Ahrweiler October 25, 1891 - ? Dusseldorf February 22, 1968 Carl Weisgerber belongs to the generation of artists born between 1890 and 1910, whose works have only been discovered and researched in art history in recent years. The painter was born in 1891 in the Ahrweiler Niederhutstra?e 23 and developed here his love for animal painting. At the age of 28, he began his studies at the Dusseldorf School of Painting on the recommendation of Prof. Willy Spatz, where he was a student of Prof. Max Clarenbach and Prof. Julius Paul Junghanns. Inspired and encouraged by the Düsseldorf art landscape, Carl Weisgerber matured here to one of the most respected German animal and landscape painters between Eifel and Lower Rhine. His extensive and widely scattered work is located nationwide in museum and private collections and is researched since 2009 in a catalog raisonné.
