The New International Encyclopædia/Reinicke, Paul René

REINICKE, rï'nik-e, Paul René (1860- ). A German painter and draftsman, born at Strenz-Naundorf, near Halle. He studied at Weimar under Struys, at Düsseldorf under Gebhardt, and at Munich under Piglhein, whom he accompanied to Palestine. Settled afterwards in Munich, he found the true field for his talent in drawing sketches for the Fliegende Blätter, in which his masterly delineations from the social life of the upper classes in its various aspects soon became an eagerly looked-for specialty. A selection of his drawings was published in Munich (1890) under the title "Spiegelbilder aus dem Leben." His "Waiting Room of the First Class in the Munich Railway Station" is in the National Gallery, Berlin. He was awarded a gold medal in 1882.
