compared to the extensive information about American artists.
German painter Carl Spitzweg is considered one of the foremost artists of the Biedermeier era, a transitional period spanning the three decades between the Congress of Vienna (1815) and the Revolution of 1848. The Biedermeier era celebrated simple, middle-class sensibilities and the importance of family and community, not the emotionally-heightened individualistic experiences preached by the Romantics.
Spitzweg, in particular, created numerous portraits of the average citizen going about (showing 500 of 8123 characters). |
