Otto Clemens Fikentscher the Elder

Otto Clemens Fikentscher the Elder was a German painter, draughtsman and illustrator of the Düsseldorf School. Although it is unclear whether he is related to the artist Otto Fikentscher, who was married to Jenny Fikentscher, Otto Fikentscher (the Elder) studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and specialised in historical painting and the depiction of horses in battle scenes. He was a member of the artists' association Malkasten and served as a war correspondent during conflicts such as the German-Danish War and the Franco-Prussian War. Fikentscher's works were reproduced in popular magazines and showed his lively and dynamic style.
