Life and Artistic Training

Born in Düsseldorf, Germany, Hans Seyppel was the son of the painter, draftsman, and writer Carl Maria Seyppel and Helene Brunstering. After completing his Abitur at the Städtische Realschule on Prinz-Georg-Straße in 1905, he pursued his artistic education at the Düsseldorf Academy. He studied under Claus Meyer, Carl Ederer, and Willy Spatz, and later became a master student of Franz Kiederich until 1920.

During the First World War, Seyppel served as a soldier and company leader, sustaining multiple wounds. He documented his wartime service in France, Flanders, Galicia, and Russia through numerous sketchbooks. His later life included studies in the Lower Rhine, the Netherlands, Hesse, Italy, and Spain. He was married to the interior designer Hedwig Beyer and maintained an atelier in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel.

Artistic Style and Notable Works

Seyppel’s body of work reflects a transition in style and subject matter. His early compositions, such as Ankunft der Postkutsche vor dem Dorfgasthof (1922), followed the traditions of the Düsseldorf School of Painting. However, in works like Der sterbende Wald (c. 1930/35), he moved toward a sachliche Realismus, characterized by muted colors and hard contours. His repertoire included:

In the 1930s, he also engaged in public commissions for murals. One of his notable works, The Port of Toulon on 27.XI.42, is held in the Bavarian State Painting Collections, Munich.
