Ludwig Muller Cornelius

Born : 1864Died : 1943Documented citizenships : Germany

The Munich painter Ludwig Müller-Cornelius is described as having been self-taught since his youth: after an apprenticeship, he becomes director of the Munich company Conrad. His repertoire combines subjects from the Dachau region with harvest scenes from Upper Bavaria, genre scenes from Mittenwald and historical representations; a notice also mentions his small cabinet paintings.

Haymaking scenes are among the documented subjects: an oil on cardboard measuring 19 × 29 cm shows peasants near a lake, while another work, entitled “Hay Harvest Before an Approaching Storm”, is an oil on panel measuring 11.5 × 16 cm. A third notice records a “Heuernte”, an oil on wood measuring approximately 13 × 19.5 cm. An Upper Bavarian landscape, an oil on wood measuring 22 × 33 cm, brings together a watercourse, horses, chickens and two peasants.

This profile brings together identity references for Ludwig Muller Cornelius and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
