Carl (Karl) Adloff (12 January 1819 – 16 April 1863) was a German painter of the Düsseldorf school of painting.

Life

Born in Düsseldorf, Adloff was the child of Franz Joseph Adloff (1786-1832) and Anna Margaretha Adloff, née Kaimer (1784-1846). From 1833 to 1843, he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where in 1836 he took the class of Landschaftsmaler under Johann Wilhelm Schirmer.[1] and attended the architecture class under Rudolf Wiegmann in 1840/1841. In the student lists of the Meisterklasse, he was listed as an architectural and landscape painter from 1840 to 1843. In his choice of motifs, he favoured - following the Dutch Golden Age painting - the Dutch landscape; he created beach, harbour, canal and city views, whose architecture he captured in detail and in a fine painting style. He often painted seascapes, which are bathed in a romantic mood of tranquillity by moonlight, morning and evening light. He was repeatedly represented at academic art exhibitions in Germany and abroad. Adloff was a member of the Malkasten.

Adloff married Adelheid Schmitz (1820-1893), who gave birth to his daughter Sybilla Carolina († 1927) in 1850. They lived at Pfannenschoppenstraße 239 (today Klosterstraße in Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte) - in the house where Alwine and Adolph Schroedter had lived before they went to Karlsruhe.[2][3] Sybilla Carolina became the wife of the animal painter Carl Jutz [de] in 1868.[4] and 1873 mother of the later landscape painter Carl Ernst Bernhard Jutz.

Adloff died in Düsseldorf at the age of 44 and was buried at Golzheimer Friedhof [de] (southern part).
