{"Id":156,"Name":"Anselm Friedrich Feuerbach","Biography":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFEUERBACH, ANSELM (1829-1880)\u003C/strong\u003E, German painter, born at Spires, the son of a well-known archaeologist, was the leading classicist painter of the German 19th-Century school. 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 colored cartoon can never be the supreme achievement in art.

He subsequently worked at Karlsruhe, Venice (where he fell under the spell of the greatest school of colorists), Rome and Vienna. 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 \u003Cu\u003EThe Fall of the Titans\u003C/u\u003E 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 \u003Cu\u003EIphigenia\u003C/u\u003E; Karlsruhe, the \u003Cu\u003EDante at Ravenna\u003C/u\u003E; Munich, the \u003Cu\u003EMedea\u003C/u\u003E; and Berlin, \u003Cu\u003EThe Concert\u003C/u\u003E, his last important picture.
