Conrad Hommel

Conrad Hommel

Conrad Hommel (Mainz, 16 February 1883 - Sielbeck, 11 November 1971) was a German painter. He was best known for his portraits of leading German entrepreneurs such as Max Grundig, Herbert Quandt, and politicians such as Paul von Hindenburg, Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering.

Hommel was one of the official painters of Nazi Germany, and worked in a conventional naturalist and realist style. His style is quite academic, and, compared with other Nazi painters, such as Werner Peiner, seems more free from modern influences.[citation needed]
