Biography
| He studied first at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf, then with Charles Henri Geerts (1807-55) in Leuven, before returning to the Kunstakademie. After extended study-trips to Rome, he opened a studio in Dusseldorf in 1854. He was encouraged by Wilhelm Schadow, the Akademie Director, and received many commissions from the Kunstverein fur die Rheinlande und Westfalen. He worked with the sculptor Dietrich Meinardus (1804-71) and with Dusseldorf sculptors including Joseph Anton Reiss (1835-1900) and Leo Musch (1846-1911), who were his pupils.Bayerle was a prolific artist, although many works have gone missing or were destroyed in World War II. Funerary monuments for the composer Norbert Burgmuller and the painter Theodor Mintrop (1814-70), and a figure, Grieving Virgin at the Foot of the Cross, are in the Nordfriedhof in Dusseldorf. A monument to Stephanie von Hohenzollern, Queen of Portugal (1860), was replaced with a copy (Dusseldorf, Hofgarten) by Ulrich Hahn. Also in Dusseldorf are Bayerles statuettes of saints Antony and Francis, on the altar mensa of the Catholic Pfarrkirche parish church of St Maximilian (in situ). Among his most important works are the monumental Princes of the Apostles: Peter and Paul, on the west facade of St Quirinus in Neuss (1853; in situ). The memorial to The Fallen of the Franco-German War, 1870-71, Wilhelmsplatz, Mulheim an der Ruhr, was a late work. |
