In the heart of Germany, in the city of Münster, a remarkable artist was born in 1865 whose creative influence would leave a lasting mark on the artistic world. Melchior Lechter, a gifted painter, printmaker and book artist, left a legacy that is vividly reflected in our high-quality art prints. His signature monogram, a carefully cut "M" that blends perfectly with the "L", is just one example of his exquisite artistry that we preserve and celebrate in our fine art prints.
Melchior Lechter's parents, small merchant Theodor Lechter and Catharina Terwort, recognized his artistic talent at an early age. The youthful Lechter was strongly influenced by the musical masterpieces of Wagner and Liszt, as well as by the thoughtful writings of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. At the age of only 14, he began an apprenticeship as a glass painter at the renowned von der Forst glass painting workshop in Münster. Here he received his first artistic impressions from the late Nazarene Joseph Anton Settegast. Despite his busy work schedule, he attended the Münstersche Kunstgenossenschaft, where he took courses at the drawing, painting and modeling school to perfect his artistic skills. After completing his apprenticeship, Lechter was drawn to the vibrant metropolis of Berlin, where he attended painting classes at the renowned Art Academy in 1884. This ten-year artistic journey was to have a lasting impact on and refine his creative expression. A significant development in Lechter's life was his entry into the Adyar Theosophical Society in 1906, a decision that led him on a spiritual journey that took him as far as India, where he experienced the country's unique cultural and artistic landscape.
After his academic training in Berlin, he initially devoted himself to commercial art, creating artistic advertising materials, until in 1896 Fritz Gurlitt gave him the opportunity to exhibit his works in Berlin. This exhibition marked the breakthrough of his art, which was to shape the artistic landscape of the city from then on. A decisive role was played by his encounter with Stefan George, for whom Lechter designed numerous books for Georg Bondi Verlag, which cemented his reputation as a sensitive book artist. 1896 also brought the presentation of his first stained glass works, which publicly demonstrated Lechter's artistic vision. Two of his most famous works from this period, the "Tristan and Isolde" window sashes from his Berlin apartment, are indicative of his unique style and attention to detail, which are also clearly expressed in our art prints. Lechter received commissions from notable personalities and institutions of his time. For example, the architect Franz Schwechten commissioned him to design the windows for the Simeonskirche and the Romanesque Houses in Berlin. Jakob Pallenberg entrusted him with the design of the Pallenberg Hall with stained glass windows and mosaics at the Cologne Museum of Applied Arts. This overall commission earned him a Grand Prix at the Paris World's Fair in 1900.
In 1937, during a visit to the grave of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, Melchior Lechters artistic journey ended abruptly. But his impressive life's work lives on to this day. It speaks to us through the precise details, vivid passion, and unique aesthetics expressed in each of our fine art prints. These prints, which honor Melchior Lechter's extensive and varied body of work, are more than mere reproductions. They are a loving tribute to an artist whose vision and talent have had a significant impact on the artistic landscape of Germany and the world. They tell the story of an artist who was ahead of his time and allow us to preserve and pass on his legacy in the form of fine art prints produced with the utmost precision and care.
