Adolph von Menzel

German, 1815–1905

Adolph von Menzel (1815–1905) fue un artista realista alemán reconocido por sus dibujos, grabados y pinturas. Nacido en Breslau, se mudó a Berlín en 1830 y se hizo cargo del negocio litográfico de su familia tras la muerte de su padre. Menzel estudió brevemente en la Academia de Arte de Berlín antes de volverse autodidacta, y ganó reconocimiento temprano por su trabajo gráfico y sus pinturas históricas, especialmente aquellas relacionadas con Federico el Grande. Pasó la mayor parte de su vida en Berlín, fue nombrado caballero en 1898 y se hizo conocido por su desapego de los demás y su distintiva apariencia física.
