Carl Friedrich Deiker, son of the drawing teacher Christian Friedrich Deiker, became a student at the State Drawing Academy in Hanau and began his artistic studies under the director Theodor Pélissier (17941863), which he completed in 1858 at the Grand Ducal Baden Art School under the landscape painter Johann Wilhelm Schirmer Karlsruhe. Deiker also received lessons and inspiration from his brother Johannes Deiker. Like his brother, Carl Friedrich Deiker specialized in depicting animal and hunting motifs. He lived in Düsseldorf from 1864 until his death. He liked to paint big game and wild boars and liked to depict deer fights, fleeing big game chased by the hunter. He also depicted vultures and falcons and scenes from the lives of foxes. A Sauhatz (1870) is in the Cologne Museum. He also drew numerous hunting scenes. Through his dramatic depictions of hunting and his connection to the paintings of the Rubens School, he is considered an important source of inspiration for animal paintings of the Düsseldorf School. The British animal painter Louis Henry Weston Klingender, the Swedish animal painter Bruno Liljefors and the German animal painter Fritz Schürmann were Deiker's students, as was his son Carl Deiker, born in 1879, who became an animal painter and writer. |
