American, 1848–1919
Frank Duveneck (1848–1919) was an American figure and portrait painter born in Covington, Kentucky, to German immigrant parents. He studied art from a young age and trained in Munich, where he adopted a dark, realistic style and helped initiate a new art movement in the 1870s that emphasized freer paint application. Duveneck taught in Germany, Italy, and later at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, where he influenced many students. His paintings are held in major American museums, and he also created a monument for his wife in Florence.
