ALFRED RETHEL (1816-1859), German historical painter, was born at Aix-la-Chapelle in 1816.
Four years later he was the successful competitor for the work of ornamenting the restored council house of his native city with frescoes depicting prominent events in the career of Charlemagne, but the execution of this work was delayed for some six years.
Meanwhile Rethel occupied himself with the production of easel pictures and of drawings; and in 1842 he began a striking series of designs dealing with the "Crossing of the Alps by Hannibal," in which the weird power which animates his later art becomes first apparent.
Rethel seeks to link the categories of pure reason with the exchange abstract which is increasingly taking the form of a purely mathematical characterisation despite its historical and social origins.
Rethel thinks that both Smith and Kant are better representatives of Bourgoeis thought, being spokesman of political economy and epistemology in their pure normalcy.
Rethel compares Kant’s critique of pure reason and Adam Smith’s wealth of nations, as both being attempts to understand systems in their pure and unproblematic form – whereas Hegel’s science of logic (and logic of everything) and Ricardo’s project are allready attempts to understand the contradictions of systems.
Rethel is a town 36 kilometres north-east of Reims, along the N51-E46 main road to Mezieres.
Rethel was in German hands from the early days of the First World War until 6 November 1918.
Rethel French National Cemetery contains the graves of almost 3,000 French soldiers who died, for the most part, in the fighting at Bertoncourt in 1914, and at Herpy in 1918.

In 182930 Rethel attended the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf.
His teachers, Heinrich Christoph Kolbe (17711836) and Theodor Hildebrandt (180474), soon recognized his special talent for historical painting, and by 1834 he was studying in the master class, where it is likely that he painted Portrait of the Artists Mother (Berlin, Neue N.G.), a work revealing that he was already an extremely competent painter.
The painting illustrates the contrast between old and new, between the decaying ruin of the castle and the increasing industrialization.

It's a pleasent climb, but does not appear in the Fairley guide as a route.
The climb ends just below Rethel's summit, and the party descended via the Rethel - Parkhurst col. Crossing the lake outlet could be a problem in high water.
