The Artist: Philipp Otto Runge

Philipp Otto Runge was a German artist, draftsman, painter, and color theorist. He is frequently compared with William Blake by art historians, although Runge's short ten-year career is not easy to equate to Blake's career. By all accounts he had a brilliant mind and was well versed in theology, literature, and science. Together with Caspar David Friedrich, Runge is often regarded as one of the leading painters of the German Romantic movement.

The Painting: The Hülsenbeck Children

The Hülsenbeck Children (1805-06) by Philipp Otto Runge is a masterpiece that showcases his unique style and innovative approach to child portraiture. This oil on canvas painting, which measures 131.5 x 143.5 cm, is now in the collection of the Kunsthalle Hamburg. The painting depicts three of Hülsenbeck's children playing in the garden at their home in Eimsbüttel on the outskirts of Hamburg. It shows the three children, Maria, August, and Friedrich, from their eye level living in their own world and attempts to record their individual personalities. Treating children in this way, rather than as young adults clustered round the feet of their parents, was quite innovative at the time and helped to permanently change the way that children were recorded in German art.

The Location: Kunsthalle Hamburg

The Kunsthalle Hamburg is a museum located in Hamburg, Germany, which houses an extensive collection of art from the Middle Ages to the present day. The museum was founded in 1843 and has since grown to become one of the most important art institutions in Germany. Discover more about Kunsthalle Hamburg here.
