Adalbert Stifter - Paintings


Adalbert Stifter (born Albert Stifter) was a recognized Austrian poet and painter of the Biedermeier.
Born: 23 October 1805 in Oberplan, Bohemia (now Horní Planá, Czech Republic)
Died: 28 January 1868 in Linz, Austria-Hungary
Adalbert Stifter gets acquainted with painting when attending regular art classes at secondary school. But he decides to pursue this activity only as an autodidact, and to start a study in the disciplines of law, physics, astronomy and mathematics in Vienna instead. This training, in addition to the considerable success as a writer, provides him with a financial basis as an educator and a literate. His painting activity, which he brings to some perfection through consistent self-training, consists largely of graceful, mostly quite colorful landscape depictions. Both poetry and painting go hand in hand with Adalbert Stifter, so he writes about his own paintings. The fact that they are no longer existing is probably due to his own perfectionism.
