Karl Luckhardt

Karl Luckhardt was a painter, draughtsman and etcher. He trained as a lithographer and studied with Emil Gies at the Städel from 1907. After military service and studies in Munich, he settled in Frankfurt as a freelance artist. In the 1920s he became a popular commissioned painter, known for his depictions of rural life. Although Luckhardt fell out of favour after the Second World War, he regained recognition through public commissions and the support of friends. His detailed and sensitive depictions of landscapes, portraits and still lifes were well received by the public. While his work was popular with the public, it was often criticised by art critics for its typecasting. A retrospective in 1985 drew attention to Luckhardt's forgotten early works, including important oil studies, watercolours, drawings and etchings. His preferred subjects included landscapes, country life, animals, portraits and still lifes, with a focus on Frankfurt and its surroundings.
