Reichenbach and Frutigen, Bern, artist/painter Rudolph Von Känel
Hoping someone might have information about this artist who was born in Reichenbach in abut 1850 and married Sophia Schütz. I have information about his children but would like to learn about his life and work if possible. Any suggestions about where to find information about him as an artist would be appreciated.

Unfortunately I cannot help much here - not my area of expertise. But there is a discussion topic on von Känel from Reichenbach on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4007: have a look - reading is free. The forum is multilingual: discussions in this topic are in German right now - but if you want to "answer" and post your question, English would be fine. In order to be able to post you'd have to register - which is free and without any obligation.

In the meantime I had a look at the Reichenbach baptismal records - which fortunately include a name index. The most plausible Rudolph would be born 19.11. and baptised 14.12.1851. I have published that on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4007&start=90#p120175 and asked whether anyone knew this Rudolph and had information about his activities.

@Pam Vestal You wrote "I have information about his children" - could you, please, post this information here? A member of Geneal-Forum asked about it.

In the forum the following question came up: what is the source for Rudolf von Känel being an artist painter, not just a house painter (decorator)? In the newspaper cuttings (see the forum) he is only mentioned as "Maler" - which could be both. An artist painter would often be mentioned as "Kunstmaler".
