Ary Scheffer

Dutch, 1795–1858

Ary Scheffer (1795–1858) è stato un pittore olandese-francese associato al movimento Romantico. Era meglio conosciuto per i dipinti ispirati alla letteratura, comprese opere basate su Dante, Goethe, Byron e Walter Scott, oltre a temi religiosi. Scheffer dipinse molti ritratti di persone notevoli della sua epoca e aveva forti legami politici con il re Luigi Filippo I, servendo come insegnante di disegno per i figli del re.
