The names and works of the painters Friedrich Becker, Ludwig Erdmann, Friedrich Wilhelm Heithecker, Franz Xaver Laudage, Paul Graf von Merveldt, Franz Thöne, and Max Todt are virtually unknown today. They all came from the Paderborn region and studied at the "Royal Prussian Art Academy" in Düsseldorf in the 19th century, at that time one of the most internationally renowned training centers for visual artists. The painters from Paderborn participated in the epochal movements of the "Düsseldorf School of Painting" in religious art ("Nazarenes"), in portrait, history, genre, and landscape painting. However, unlike the works of many of their classmates, their paintings are rarely found in the exhibition spaces and archives of museums and public collections. The exhibition in the Castle Hall of Wewelsburg offers the opportunity for their rediscovery.

View of the former Kloster Böddeken (around 1840)

 

One of the few works by the students of the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the possession of the District Museum Wewelsburg is this view of the former Kloster Böddeken (around 1840). The painter Ludwig Erdmann was born there in 1820 as the son of a Prussian head forester.
