Friedrich Georg William Pape (3 September 1859 – 13 December 1920) was a German painter and illustrator.
Early life
Pape was born on 3 September 1859 in Karlshütte near Rendsburg.
He initially studied philosophy and natural sciences at the University of Berlin before attending the Academy of Arts in Berlin. He received further lessons from Hermann Prell and at the Académie Julian in Paris from Jules-Joseph Lefebvre and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant. He went on painting trips to Italy, Denmark and Russia.
Career
Pape painted highly detailed large-scale paintings, known as vedutas, in Berlin, but specialized primarily in history painting. His painting, One Empire, One People, One God (German: Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Gott), which depicted the 18 January 1896 celebration marking the 25th anniversary of the founding of the German Empire, attracted the attention of the German court, who purchased the painting, which was owned personally by Kaiser Wilhelm II. The Kaiser also personally owned Paper's 1898 painting, Confirmation of the Crown Prince and Prince Eitel Friedrich (German: Die Konfirmation des Kronprinzen und des Prinzen Eitel Friedrich).
At the time of his death, he was vice-president of the Berlin Academy.
