August Bausch
August Bausch (2 March 1818 – 28 February 1909) was a German genre, portrait and history painter of the Düsseldorf school of painting.
Life[edit]
Bausch came from Bonn to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. From 1835 to 1839, Karl Ferdinand Sohn was his teacher there.[1][2] After his studies, he worked in Düsseldorf and Bonn. In1839, he exhibited the picture Abraham and Isaac's sacrifice in Frankfurt. As a history painter, he attracted the attention of the art professor Rudolf Wiegmann with his paintings Gretchen and Martha (after Goethe's Faust) (1841) and Tempelritter auf der Morgenwache (1843).[3] However, Bausch made a name for himself as a portrait painter and portrait draughtsman in his home town of Bonn, where he especially created portraits of students,[4] mainly that of his nephew Hermann Deiters. Also well-known is his portrait of the astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander from Bonn, painted around 1868.[5]
