Talk:Düsseldorf School of painting

Untitled
Note: I've made changes to reflect the comments below and get rid of the ambiguity, especially since there is already an article on the Kunstakademie. It would be useful to have more detail on the style of and participants in the Düsseldorf School. Smawnmahlau 13:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

It looks like this article might be about Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, which was not founded by Schadow (he was the second director after Peter von Cornelius). Rl 17:50, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

The Academy of Fine Arts (Kunstakademie) was founded by Cornelius, indeed. But it was Schadow who initiated the Düsseldorf School (Düsseldorfer Malerschule) at the Academy - a stylistic program rather than an institution.

Two articles exist
Düsseldorf school exists, too. I have placed statements in that article taken from New International Encyclopedia. GhostofSuperslum 14:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Three and counting
Kunstakademie Düsseldorf is a third article on the school! I have chosen Düsseldorf school as the one to place my edits. Sooner or later, these three articles may be merged. GhostofSuperslum 17:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * My most significant observation is that Schadow was absent from the school at times. He left for Italy in 1830.  Lessing replaced him as director for about 5 or 6 years (1830-36).  Lessing has been credited with having an important influence on the school.  Then, Schadow returned and resumed the role of director, but left for Italy in 1840.  After some time in Italy, he returned to the school a changed man.  He was more religious.  Afterward, his paintings are of religious subjects.
 * At this time, the three articles in Wikipedia are in a state of confusion, marked by inaccuracies. Also, the title Kunstakademie Düsseldorf is a real tongue-twister to users of the English version of Wikipedia. The title Düsseldorf school is preferable, for certain.
 * Fare thee well. GhostofSuperslum 10:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge discussion

 * As I pointed out there, these are different topics and the pages should not be merged. But it would be valuable if somebody would translate the German article on the "Düsseldorfer Malerschule". --Hegvald (talk) 18:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I added the quotation (by Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter) for prooving that it was not only Schadow, but also his students he brought from Berlin, which constituted together the "Düsseldorfer Malerschule" (Düsseldorf School), which is not identic with the "Kunstakademie Düsseldorf"(Academy of Fine Arts). The Royal Prussian Academy existed from 1819-1918; the artists listed under "Selected artists" should not be listed here but under the site of "Kunstakademie Düsseldorf".Eztuel (talk) 14:27, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
