Paul Emil Rumpf

Paul Emil Rumpf was a German painter and illustrator. Emil Rumpf was the son of the Frankfurt painter Philipp Rumpf. After the first artistic lessons from his father, Rumpf went to the Düsseldorf Art Academy. He later moved to the Karlsruhe Art Academy. In the summer of 1888 he became a private student of Caspar Ritter at the Städel Institute. Since Rumpf's parents had settled in Kronberg im Taunus in 1875, Rumpf had - apart from a few trips - centered his life there. After becoming acquainted with some of his fellow painters, Rumpf soon joined the Kronberg painters' colony.
