Hans Julius Leonhard Wilhelm August Tintelnot (27 September 1909 − 2 January 1970) was a German art historian and painter.
[3] When the end of the "Third Reich" became foreseeable, Tintelnot and his family first moved back to Lemgo, where he found accommodation in his parents' house and initially worked in his father's business.
In addition, he organized cultural events and created watercolors, which he sold to increase the family income.
Tintelnot started the beginning of an independent German development of fresco painting already in the courtly culture of southern Germany around 1600, which did not correspond to the widespread doctrine, and he insisted on the idea of national character expressed in works of art.
Tintelnot made a special effort to complete the collection of German art of the 19th century.
At a carnival celebration of the Kunsthistorisches Institut he appeared in the costume of the cardinal Scipione Caffarelli Borghese after a marble bust by Gian Lorenzo Bernini from 1632 and had all bystanders kiss the ring.
In the National Museum, Wrocław watercolours of Tintelnot with Wroclaw motifs were rediscovered, possibly collected for an exhibition that had been cancelled due to the outbreak of war.
