Rudolph Jordan

Wilhelm Rudolf Jordan was a German genre painter, illustrator, etcher and art teacher. After completing his basic artistic studies with Karl Wilhelm Wach at his private school in Berlin, Jordan moved to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1837, he became a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts. He graduated from the Kunstakademie in 1840 and, from 1848, operated his own studio; creating genre scenes and giving lessons. He is considered to be one of the founders of the ethnographic approach to genre painting. After 1843, following the success of his painting "Heiratsantrag auf Helgoland" (Marriage Proposal in Helgoland), he devoted himself mostly to portraying fisherman and sailors, which involved frequent journeys to Belgium, Holland and France. Many of these works became popular and were widely disseminated as lithographs and engravings. In 1848, he was one of the founders of "Malkasten", a progressive art society in Düsseldorf.
