biography of Carl Friedrich Martin Wilhelm 'Willy' Tiedjen

The German painter Willy Tiedjen made landscapes and marines, but was mainly known as an animal painter. At the Munich Academy, where he studied under Heinrich von Zügel from 1902, he specialized in this genre. His teacher had a particular preference for cattle, Tiedjen excelled in painting poultry, especially ducks. In Impressionist style, with a broad brush and impasto use of paint, he painted numerous lively animal scenes and proves to be a worthy pupil of Zügel in both observation and depiction of the reflection of sunlight on the water. After graduating from the academy, Willy Tiedjen made several study trips through Germany, Switzerland and along the Dutch coast. He eventually settled in Munich, where he took an active part in exhibitions.
