Julius Bayerle Explained
Julius Bayerle (2 June 1826[1] – 8 August 1873)[2] was a German sculptor and painter as well as a teacher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Life
Bayerle, son of the dressmaker Franz Bayerle (died 1852) and Catharine Abelshausen[3] studied painting at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1850 to 1860. His teacher there was Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow. At the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven he found another opportunity for training with Karel Hendrik Geerts. He undertook study trips, including one to Rome, where he stayed from November 1853 to January 1854.[4] In 1854, he returned to Düsseldorf, where he was appointed the first professor of sculpture at the academy, which had been re-founded in 1819.[5] At first he created a series of works with religious content, such as a crucifixion group for Wesel, Christ and the Apostles for Krefeld and a Madonna for Sigmaringen. Bayerle's later works have a more profane, partly also decorative character; among them are statues and monumental sculptures for buildings. Bayerle, Knight of the Order of the Crown (Prussia), died in Düsseldorf at the age of 47.[6]
Anton Josef Reiss was one of his students.[7] as well as .
