Ludwig des Coudres

Ludwig des Coudres was a German history and portrait painter. He also served as a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe. His son, Adolf Des Coudres, was a well-known landscape painter. In 1836, he began studying architecture at the new polytechnic school. The following year, he was able to begin studies at the Kunsthochschule. Dissatisfied with the school's emphasis on the Nazarene style, he and two of his friends left to start their own studio and teach themselves. Shortly after, he went to study at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. In 1843, he went to spend two years in Rome. Then he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. It was there he turned to portrait painting. In 1854 he became the first Director of the Academy in Karlsruhe, organizing its operations and establishing the curriculum.
