{"title":"Kuhnert, Friedrich Wilhelm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriedrich Wilhelm Karl Kuhnert (1865-1926)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a German painter, author and illustrator who specialised in animal images. After illustrating the books of Alfred Brehm, he travelled to German East Africa to observe animals in their habitat and produced numerous paintings that defined Africa for many Germans of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuhnert was born in Oppeln on 28th September 1865. After the end of his technical-commercial apprenticeship at the age of 17, Kuhnert was a scholarship student at the Berlin University of the Arts from 1883 to 1887. From his home in Berlin, he embarked on travels to Scandinavia, Egypt, East Africa and India to make landscape and animal studies. His favourite motif was the African lion. In 1901 Kuhnert was the illustrator for zoologist Johann Wilhelm Haacke's book Animal Life on Earth. In 1903, he became one of the many artists selected to provide illustrations and design trading cards for the Cologne chocolate company, Stollwerck. He also provided some illustrations for the 1890 edition of Brehms Tierleben.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to the practice of his peers, Kuhnert distinguished himself by sketching tropical animals in the wild, not in zoos. He made pictures by sketching, etching, watercolor, and oil painting. Kuhnert is considered one of the most important German animal painters of his time. Kuhnert was a keen and skilled hunter himself; he returned to Africa year after year in the hunt for both game and subjects for his art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1894, he married 18-year-old Emilie Caroline Wilhelmine Ottilie Alvine Herdikerhoff. They had a daughter, Emilie. The couple divorced in 1909 while Emilie was a student in Ceylon. Kuhnert married for the second time to Gerda von Jankowski in 1913. In 1925, on his 60th birthday, she died.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuhnert died on 11th February 1926, during a recovery stay in Flims, Switzerland. His grave is in the Stahnsdorf South-Western Cemetery in Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"natural-history-of-animals-the-v-1-1905-fairfax-muckley-kuhnert-et-al-12-images","title":"Natural History of Animals, The v.1 1905 - Fairfax Muckley, Kuhnert et al - 12 images","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are the pictures from The Natural History of Animals 1905, a series of beautiful natural history books, written by J.R.
