Artist Biography
Louis Gurlitt: A Life in Landscape
Early Life and Education
- Born: Heinrich Louis Theodor Gurlitt on March 8, 1812, in Altona, Holstein (present-day Germany).
- Gurlitt came from a family with artistic inclinations; his brother, Cornelius Gurlitt, was a composer, and his son would become an architect and art historian.
- Altona’s unique status as a Danish town with religious freedoms provided a relatively liberal environment for his upbringing.
- He received his initial artistic training in Hamburg under Siegfried Detlev Bendixen.
- In 1832, Gurlitt moved to Copenhagen, where he studied and won a silver medal in 1833. He exhibited regularly there until around 1875.
Artistic Development and Style
- Gurlitt’s early work demonstrated considerable talent, earning praise from the Danish Academy.
- He primarily focused on landscape painting, developing a style characterized by atmospheric effects and detailed observation of nature.

- Gurlitt’s technique involved meticulous oil paintings that captured the nuances of light and shadow.
Personal Life and Travels
- Gurlitt experienced personal loss with the deaths of his first two wives, Elise Saxild (married 1837) and Julie Bürger (married after 1839).
- He later married Elisabeth Lewald in 1847, after which he resided in Austria and Germany.
- His geographical movements were partly shaped by the political tensions of his time. As a native of Holstein, he sided with Germany during the conflicts of 1848 and 1864.
Major Works and Recognition
