HÜBNER, KARL (WILHELM), born in
Königsberg, June 17,
1814, died in Düsseldorf,
Dec. 5, 1879.
Genre painter, pupil in
Königsberg of I. Wolf,
and from 1839-41 at

his reputation by
painting subjects relating to the social problems

subjects of more general interest, which met
with great success, particularly in Holland
and America, and caused his being made an
honorary member of the Amsterdam and
Philadelphia Academies. On a visit to
America in 1874-75 he was warmly received
by American artists in the principal cities of
the Union. He was one of the most active
founders, in 1844, of the Düsseldorf Union
of Artists for mutual aid, and in 1848 of
the Malkasten, to which he gave its name.
