Ernst Karl Eugen Koerner (3 November 1846, Stibbe near Marienwerder – 30 July 1927, Berlin) was a German landscape painter.

Biography

His father, Ernst (1794–1856) was a cloth dealer. In 1861, while still attending the public schools, he began working in the studios of Hermann Eschke, where he received most of his artistic education. Later, he also worked for Karl Steffeck and Шаблон:Ill. He spent most of the two following decades travelling; to the North Sea, the Baltics, the Harz Mountains, France, England, Italy, Scotland and Spain. From 1873 to 1886, he made numerous trips to Egypt and the Middle East, where he created some of his best known paintings.

In 1874, he married Auguste Heyl (1855–1899), the daughter of a factory manager. They had one daughter and three sons, including the jurist, Шаблон:Ill, who later became a prominent Anti-Semite.

In 1894, he was named a Professor and, from 1895 to 1899, was Chairman of the Шаблон:Ill (Artists' Association). In addition to his canvases, he painted altarpieces at the Шаблон:Ill in Berlin-Rummelsburg.

He died at home, aged eighty, and is buried at the Шаблон:Ill in Berlin-Kreuzberg.[1]

His most popular paintings depict Egyptian architecture, often backed by striking, red sunsets. Many of his works show the influence of Eduard Hildebrandt.
