Ary Scheffer

Dutch, 1795–1858

Ary Scheffer (1795–1858) war ein niederländisch-französischer Maler, der mit der Romantischen Bewegung in Verbindung gebracht wird. Er war am besten bekannt für Gemälde, die von der Literatur inspiriert waren, einschließlich Werke, die auf Dante, Goethe, Byron und Walter Scott basierten, sowie religiöse Themen. Scheffer malte viele Porträts bemerkenswerter Personen seiner Zeit und hatte starke politische Verbindungen zu König Ludwig Philipp I., indem er als Zeichenlehrer für die Kinder des Königs diente. Seine frühe Ausbildung begann in Amsterdam, und später zog er nach Paris, wo er seine Studien und Karriere fortsetzte.
