Everything about Anselm Feuerbach totally explained
Anselm Feuerbach (
September 12,
1829 —
January 4,
1880) was a German painter. He was the leading classicist
painter of the
German 19th-century school. According to the 1911 Britannica,
He was the first to realize the danger arising from contempt of technique, that mastery of craftsmanship was needed to express even the loftiest ideas, and that an ill-drawn coloured cartoon can never be the supreme achievement in art.
Feuerbach was born at
Speyer, the son of the well-known archaeologist Joseph Anselm Feuerbach and the grandson of the legal scholar
Paul Johann Anselm Ritter von Feuerbach.
After having passed through the art schools of
Düsseldorf and
Munich, he went to
Antwerp and subsequently to
Paris, where he benefited by the teaching of Couture, and produced his first masterpiece,
Hafiz at the Fountain in 1852. He subsequently worked at
Karlsruhe,
Venice (where he fell under the spell of the greatest school ol colourists),
Rome and
Vienna where he associated with
Johannes Brahms. He was steeped in classic knowledge, and his figure Compositions have the statuesque dignity and simplicity of
Greek art. Disappointed with the reception given in Vienna to his design of
The Fall of the Titans for the ceiling of the Museum of Modelling, he went to live in Venice, where he died in 1880.
His works are to be found at the leading public galleries of Germany; Stuttgart has his ; Karlsruhe, the
Dante at Ravenna; Munich, the
Medea; and Berlin,
The Concert, his last important picture. Among his chief works are also "The Battle of the Amazons
, Pietà
, The Symposium of Plato
, Orpheus and Eurydice" and "Ariosto in the Park of Ferrara
.
