Yes.
He applied to art school and was denied because his portfolio lacked enough renderings of human forms. Most of his paintings were architectural subject matter. This painting is probably from a period when he was trying to improve his skill in human forms. Religious art was still a popular source of humanistic art, so that would be a more likely explanation for this piece instead of his own religious beliefs.
What was hidden behind that cut piece of this painting?
It's just damaged canvas. You can see he tried to patch it up with some type of sealant material that caused the paint pigment to dry darker than on the rest of the canvas. This piece was probably a source of great frustration for him -- The crudely formed hands, the damaged canvas, the amount of time spent on the faces as opposed to the rest of the composition. It sort of sums up his brief painting career,
"damaged canvas" - I will use this, kek
Wow, that's pretty dam good. Way better than a lot of "artists" today.
Hitler was actually quit talent (much better than Churchill, who fancied himself an artist). Mike King is selling some of Hitler's floral paintings: https://www.realhistorychan.com/flowers-by-hitler.html
I really have no idea, but I'm guessing it was probably a commissioned piece
He painted what people wanted to buy I bet.
Also he may have lost his faith in the war.
If only he could've earned commission! He might not have noticed what was happening all around him.
Wish he stuck with painting
I know. Can you imagine Vincent van Gogh killing millions of people?
Actually he was kind of nuts, so yeah. But definitely not giving the big speeches.
If he wasn't a homicidal maniac he could have had a show on PBS. Now that I think about it, If he were still alive, they would probably give him one.
Instead, for awhile, he had all the shows on Discovery.
He was not a homicidal maniac.
And he would NEVER be allowed modern media, because he believed in things like families and children and taking care of each other.
My distant relative was Hitler’s sponsor for confirmation. He had to go find him and dragged him by the ear to church. No lie.
Any info on why exactly? Some researchers believe he was elite blood and primed for being a front man and tool of the elite, so any indication of masonic or other influences while young?
What is the evidence that this is a Hitler? Hitler as a painter was very much a "sky is blue, grass is green" type of guy. I do not believe he would have used this palette shown. Secondly, he was a hobby painter, not a professional, and while the paint application in this art leaves some finesse to be desired, the overall design of the piece could be professional. It's just my opinion tho. I have been a professional Fine Artist for about 50 years now, myself.
He attempted to live as a professional artist, and survived off his earnings from his paintings for a brief time. He applied to art school and was declined. They liked his architectural paintings, but noticed an absence of human forms in his work. This religious painting may have come from a period where he was trying to improve his skill at human renderings, and religious art was the most popular source of humanistic art, so it wouldn't be proof of his own religious beliefs.
First time I see a good painting of his. The few one’s I’ve seen before never made me want to see more. Intentional no doubt.
Pretty much everything you know about him is a lie
He is one of the kindest, gentlest people to ever live
It took a LOT to get him upset enough to invade Poland. They murdered countless Germans, raped and abused them, before he was willing to commit his troops there.
You don't know much about how he built up the NSDAP in the 1920s, or the Putsch he instigated. Brutality, force, and murder were tools of the trade in those days. I would say, pretty much everything you know about him is a lie.
His speech on that topic sounded so familiar to today's events and how the banking cartel provokes war for they own both the munitions factories and the newspapers.
I thought since he was a paper hanger, that when they refer to his painting, it was house painting.
The Nazi party was officially neo-pagan. I don't know about the particular beliefs of the scumbag himself, but the party as a whole was officially worshipers of the Fallen Ones.
Sigh.
Hitler was open to a "better" religion for the Germanic peoples. He deemed Christianity too pacifistic and admired Islam for that reason. He favored the old Germanic gods of myth, and this was taken up by the SS, courtesy of the Thule Society.
False.
His father was abusive, true, but he loved his family regardless.
He loved his country. He loved people. He believed Germans should fight to protect Germans, Jews for Jews, etc... He did not hate all Jews -- in fact he relied a great deal on many Jews. He only hated certain Jews, Jews who were part of the communist movement and the elite who were subverting the German people.
He hated the division of Catholic vs. Protestant. But he supported Christianity in as much as it did not subvert the people of his country.
"His country" was the Austro-Humgarian Empire, whose government he despised,on the basis of close observation. So much so, he left for Germany. It's all in "Mein Kampf." (I'm endlessly amazed at the tendency of some to hold sentimental views of Hitler, which are expressly refuted by his own statements in "Mein Kampf." Hardly anyone reads that book.)
Concur.
