| Hermann Vögel (1854–1921) | ||||||||||
| Vögel (also Wögel) was a German painter, illustrator, draughtsman, and writer. He became known primarily as an illustrator of children’s and youth publications. Born in Plauen, he received his first art lessons from his father, an architect and master builder. He began studying law in 1873, but by 1874, he abandoned that field and enrolled at the Dresden Art Academy. In 1875, he left the academy and continued to study independently; at the same time, he began to pursue professional work. He travelled to Italy in 1877–78 as part of his studies, and upon returning to Germany, worked for Braun & Schneider. In 1878, he was working as an illustrator in Plauen, focusing mostly on fairy tales and legends. He became the definitive artist in Germany within that field. He designed many illustrations for books and periodicals and gained considerable popularity. Vögel’s output was substantial, demonstrating a high level of skill, precision, and imagination; he was an accomplished draughtsman and was said to have influenced the fairy tale films created by Disney Studios. He died in Burgstein, Krebes. | ||||||||||
