context_page_description: Theodor Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Kaulbach was a German painter from Bad Arolsen, Principality of Waldeck and Pyrmont. His father was Christian Kaulbach, a cabinet maker in Arolsen. He was also the cousin and at one time the student of the painter Wilhelm von Kaulbach, son of Philipp Karl Friedrich v. Kaulbach, goldsmith and amateur painter; Wilhelm's son, Hermann von Kaulbach; and his own son, Friedrich August von Kaulbach.
context_section_description: Kaulbach served as the court painter to King George V, whom he repeatedly portrayed, where he was a favorite portrait painter of the local nobility.  While he was the court painter to Hanover, he received a professorship at the Leibniz University Hannover; among other benefits, the king gave his own studio and residential building, designed by the architect of the Hanoverian Christian Heinrich Tramm 1857-60 on Waterloo Street in Hanover.  The house today is part of the Waterloo Beergarden.   In her memoirs, his daughter Isidore described the visitors to the family home, who included  Johannes Brahms, Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt, Joseph Joachim, Ernst von Wildenbruch and Anton Rubinstein.
  His numerous portraits, such as those of the Sissy, the Empress of Austria, the Crown Prince Albrecht, the Count and Countess Stolberg, are extraordinarily detailed, even luminescent.  The best women's portraits have enhanced his reputation.  Kaulbach received the Gold Medal from the  Berlin Art Academy at the Vienna World Exhibition of 1873.
  Frederick Kaulbach's grave may be found in the town cemetery Engesohde in Hanover. 
  Kaulbach's son, Friedrich August von Kaulbach, was also a painter.
