RICHTER (1803-1884)  , German painter and etcher, was born at Dresden in 1803, the son of the engraver Karl August Richter, from whom he received his training; but he was strongly influenced by Erhard and • Chodowiecki . He was the most popular, and in many ways the most typical German illustrator of the middle of the 19th century . His work is as typically German and homely as are the fairy-tales of Grimm . Richter visited Italy froth 1823–26, and his " Thunder-storm in the Sabine Mountains " at the Staedel Institute in Frankfort is one of the rare Italian subjects from his brush . In 1828 he worked as designer for the Meissen factory, and in 1841 he became professor and head of the landscape atelier at the Dresden Academy: The Dresden Gallery owns one of his best and most characteristic paintings in the " Bridal Procession in a Spring Landscape." He died at Loschwitz near Dresden in 1884 .
