Adolf des Coudres was a German landscape painter. His father was Ludwig des Coudres, a painter and Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe. Despite this, he did not support his son's desire to become a painter. It was only after his father's death in 1878 that he was able to begin his studies. In 1881, he enrolled at the Academy, where he studied with Gustav Schönleber, who had a profound influence on his style. He remained there until 1890, making several stays at artists' colonies. After completing his studies, he worked as a freelance painter until 1909, participating in exhibitions at Baden-Baden and Munich, including several showings at the Glaspalast, as well as Karlsruhe. He also helped establish a private painting school for women. He often visited Holland; staying at the artists' colony in Ahrenshoop. In 1910, he moved to Fürstenfeldbruck, where he built a villa and studio for myself and his sister Luise. He participated in creating the first art exhibition there in 1914.
