Eduard von Steinle (* 2 July 1810 – † 19 September 1886) was a prominent Austrian-born painter and printmaker associated with the Nazarene movement, which sought to revive spirituality and sincerity in Christian art. Born in Vienna, Steinle spent formative years (1828–1833) in Rome among leading Nazarene artists, whose influence shaped his lifelong artistic vision.

After returning to Vienna, Steinle settled in Frankfurt am Main, where he became a central figure in the German Romantic and Nazarene schools. His major commissions include frescoes for the chapel of Castle Rheineck, historical paintings in Frankfurt’s Hall of the Emperors (Kaisersaal), and extensive cycles in churches and cathedrals along the Rhine, such as the Cologne Cathedral and Strasbourg Minster.

A master of monumental fresco and religious panel painting, Steinle produced over a hundred works on sacred themes and numerous cartoons for stained glass. He also excelled in secular and literary subjects, such as his illustrations for Shakespeare and Brentano. From 1850, he served as professor of historical painting at the Städel Art Institute in Frankfurt, influencing a new generation of artists including Frederic Leighton. Renowned for his graceful compositions and poetic vision, Steinle remained a key figure in 19th-century German art until his death in Frankfurt.

oachim commissioned the Villa Joachim at Ernst-Grein-Straße 6 in Aigen bei Salzburg in 1876. The architect is said to be Valentin Ceconi, who also designed the Villa Trapp. The vacation residence is three stories high, with a four-story tower. Johannes Brahms and Clara Schumann were among the guests in the house, and it is here that Brahms and Joachim worked together on Brahms’s Violin Concerto in D Major, op. 77. The building is currently under Denkmalschutz (historic preservation protection).

Concert: Weimar, October 19, 1850

08 Monday Dec 2014

Posted by Joachim in Concert Reviews & Criticism

≈ Leave a comment

Weimarische Zeitung, no. 85 (October 23, 1850), p. 828.


jj-initials1-e1395761217629

(Eingesendet.) Weimar. Das am 19. d. M. unter Franz Liszt’s belebender Leitung gegebene Konzert zum Vorteile der Hofkapellmitglieder ist zum allergrößten Theile dem Gehalt der Gaben und unbedingt der Ausführung nach den bedeutendsten Erscheinungen auf dem Felde der musikalischen Kunst beizugesellen. Vornehmlich waren es die Leistungen zweier Virtuosen, der Herrn Joachim und Coßmann, die dem Abende ein ungewöhnliches Interesse verliehen. In dem klassischen Violinkonzert von Beethoven, einem Probirstein des ächten Künstlers, und in einer trefflich gearbeiteten Phantasie eigener Komposition über ungarische Motive entfaltete der Erstere die ganze Kraft, Tiefe, Innigkeit und Frische, eines so seelenvollen, klaren, reinen, gediegenen und glänzenden Vortrags, in einem Solo brillant für Violoncello von  Servais zeigte der Letztere eine solche Feinheit, Zartheit und eine so ausdrucksvolle hohe Fertigkeit, daß beide, den Ruf als Künstler ersten Ranges in vollster Maße rechtfertigend, zu begeistertem Beifall hinrissen. Joachim und Coßmann gehören — Dank dem verehrten Meister Liszt und dem von neuem bewährten Kunstsinn unsers erhabenen Fürstenhauses — nunmehr der weimarischen Hofkapelle als Mitglieder, als Zierden an. Es ist dies ein wahrer, ein großer Gewinn! — Außerdem hörten wir eine fremde Konzertsängern, Fräulein Graumann aus Frankfurt a. M., welche in einem Duett von Rossini mit dem wahrhaft künstlerisch gebildeten Hrn. v. Milde und in der berühmten Arie aus Glucks Orpheus und Euridice durch eine kräftige volle gut geschulte Altstimme erfreuete, während dem Vortrage des charakterreichen, originellen Tongebildes von Liszt: “die Macht der Musik” Fräulein Agthe den Ausdruck warmer, tiefer Empfindung zu verleihen wußte. Den übrigen Theil des Konzertes bildeten die Ouvertüren zu der Oper Genoveva von R. Schumann, ein wenn auch weniger durch vollkommen abgerundete Gestaltung, als durch sinnige Gedanken und tüchtige Instrumentirung hervortretendes Werk, und die Ouvertüre zur Oper Firabras [sic] von Franz Schubert.
