AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
19th-century oil on canvas, depicting a portrait of a man, possibly an artist's self-portrait.
Beautiful quality of execution, signed on the back of the canvas.
Anton Burger (1824-1905) was born in Frankfurt am Main and studied at the Städelschule under the guidance of Jakob Becker and Philipp Veit, representatives of German realism and romanticism.
In 1846, he continued his training in Munich, then undertook a study trip to Paris in 1853, where he discovered the art of Corot and Courbet, which had a lasting influence on his vision of landscape and light.
In 1858, he settled in Kronberg im Taunus, a small picturesque town near Frankfurt, where he, along with other artists, founded the Kronberger Malerkolonie, one of the most famous artist colonies in Germany.
He becomes a central figure there, both mentor, organizer, and prolific painter.
His work, marked by poetic realism, depicts rural life, the landscapes of the Taunus, and the old streets of Frankfurt.
Recognized and respected, he was appointed Prussian royal professor in 1894. He died in Kronberg in 1905.
Quite particular framing, probably of German origin.
Unframed dimensions: 34 / 28 cm
