Frank Duveneck Biography

(b Covington, KY, 9 Oct 1848; d Cincinnati, OH, 3 Jan 1919). American painter, sculptor, etcher and teacher. The eldest son of German immigrants Bernard and Katherine Decker, Duveneck, who assumed his stepfather’s name after his father’s death and his mother’s remarriage in 1850, received his early art training in Cincinnati as an apprentice to Johann Schmitt (1825–98) and Wilhelm Lamprecht (b 1838), decorators of Benedictine churches and monasteries. In 1870 he went to Munich to study at the Königliche Akademie, where he was taught by Wilhelm Diez (1839–1907), among others. The school stressed the study of Old Master painters such as Velázquez and Hals and emphasized bravura brushwork. Duveneck was an adept pupil. His realistic portraits of the 1870s, such as Professor Ludwig von Löfftz (c. 1873; Cincinnati, OH, A. Mus.), show the sitter placed against a dark background, the face and hands bathed in an intense light and modelled with thick, broad, fleshy brushstrokes.
