Adolph Menzel Biography

(b Breslau, Silesia [now Wroclaw, Poland], 8 Dec 1815; d Berlin, 9 Feb 1905). German painter, draughtsman, illustrator, printmaker and teacher. He was the most important artist working in Berlin in the second half of the 19th century and in his later years was one of the most successful and respected artists in Germany. Living virtually all his life in Berlin, he executed numerous paintings and illustrations relating to events in Prussia’s recent history and was the foremost chronicler of the life of Frederick the Great (reg 1740–86). Through his portraits and industrial scenes and his more intimate studies of interiors and local religious events he became one of the greatest German proponents of Realism (see REALISM, §3 and BERLIN, fig. 7).
