(1) (Bernhard) Wilhelm (Eliodorus) von Kaulbach
(b Arolsen, Waldeck [now Hessen], 15 Oct 1804; d Munich, 7 April 1874). Painter and illustrator. After initial instruction from his father, Kaulbach received his principal education, from 1822 to 1826, at the Kunstakademie, Düsseldorf, under Peter Cornelius. Six months after Ludwig I, King of Bavaria, had summoned Cornelius to Munich, Kaulbach followed his tutor to the Bavarian capital, where he worked on various collaborative ventures with other pupils of Cornelius, and completed his practical training on such projects as the decoration of the Odeon (destr.) in 1826, and of the Hofgartenarkaden, from 1826 to 1829 (now painted over). More independent work followed with 16 frescoes on the theme of Cupid and Psyche for the Festsaal of the Herzog-Max-Palais (1829–35; now Munich, Neue Pin.), and in the throne-room, salon and queen’s bedroom of the newly erected Königsbau of the Residenz (1832–5; partly destr.).
