Carl Spitzweg

(German, 1808–1885)

Carl Spitzweg was a German artist known for his Romantic genre paintings. Most often depicting bookkeepers, merchants, hermits, and poets posed within their particular environments, Spitzweg is considered a part of the Biedermeier period, an art historical term used to describe artists that took a sentimental or cheerful view of everyday life, rather than a critical one. Born on February 5, 1808 in Unterpfaffehofen, Germany, he went on to copy and study the Flemish masters and dedicated himself to painting. Today, Spitzweg’s work are in the collections of the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, and the Courtauld Institute in London, among others. He died on September 23, 1885 in Munich, Germany.
