See also:ANSELM See also:FEUERBACH (1829-188o) , See also:German painter, See also:born at See also:Spires, the son of a well-known archaeologist, was the leading classicist painter of the German 19th-See also:century school . He was the first to realize the danger arising from contempt of technique, that mastery of craftsmanship was needed to See also:express even theloftiest ideas, and that an See also:ill-See also:drawn coloured See also:cartoon can never be the supreme achievement in See also:art . After having passed through the art See also:schools of See also:Dusseldorf and See also:Munich, he went to See also:Antwerp and subsequently to See also:Paris, where he benefited by the teaching of See also:Couture, and produced his first masterpiece, " See also:Hafiz at the See also:Fountain " in 1852 . He subsequently worked at See also:Karlsruhe, See also:Venice (where he See also:fell under the spell of the greatest school of colourists), See also:Rome and See also:Vienna . He was steeped n classic knowledge, and his figure compositions have the statuesque dignity and simplicity of See also:Greek art . Disappointed with the reception given in Vienna to his See also:design of " The Fall of the See also:Titans " for the See also:ceiling of the Museum of Modelling, he went to live in Venice, where he died in 1880 . His See also:works are to be found at the leading public galleries of See also:Germany; See also:Stuttgart has his " Iphigenia "; Karlsruhe, the "See also:Dante at See also:Ravenna "; Munich, the " See also:Medea "; and See also:Berlin, " The See also:Concert," his last important picture . |
