Entre Nous (Selbstbildnis mit Katzen)
Julius Adam
1911
Julius Adam, II (1852-1913, German) was born into a family of artists in Munich in 1852. His father was a photographer and Julius worked under his tutelage as a retoucher of photographic images. From 1866-1872, he worked in his father’s company in Rio de Janeiro before returning to Germany where he began to study with the professors Michael Echter (1812-1879) and Wilhelm Diez (1833-1897). Adam studied painting with Diez for six years before turning to painting animals. One of his older relations, Albrecht Adam was a successful painter of horses. Following in his footsteps, Julius carved out a niche for himself painting cats. Cat paintings were popular during the 19th century, and Julius Adam was able to make a satisfactory living. From the paintings below we can see that Adam liked cats and had a talent for capturing them in action. His paintings are similar to those of Henriëtte Ronner-Knip (1821-1909) and Louis Eugéne Lambert (1824-1902).
Framed art posters and canvas prints are available at The Great Cat Store.

I love that you put all of these pictures together in one place and even provided information about the illustrator. It would have been more cool if you put the date on the pictures too though since it’s so difficult to find that information.
