Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller was one of Austria’s most remarkable portrait painters. At the age of 14, Ferdinand left his parents’ home. To support himself, he put his talent to use – he painted portraits. For many years, this provided him with a steady income. Moreover, word of his exceptional skill continued to spread. The artist himself also wanted to further develop his passion. He therefore decided to study painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Even whilst he was still a student, he took on additional work. He worked as an art teacher. Hired by wealthy families, he taught the children of the household. This included the children of the Gyulay family. br/br/rnIn 1815, he successfully completed his studies in Vienna. At that time, the Biedermeier era was dawning in the city. In art, the Biedermeier period is defined as the span from 1815 to 1848. During this time, a distinct culture developed within the middle classes. People became increasingly interested in interior design, fashion and literature. They played music at home. The Biedermeier era is characterised by the ‘escape into the idyll’. The painter Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller capitalised on this trend, as he quickly recognised the desire for beautiful things. Thus, alongside portrait painting, he also worked in the fields of genre and landscape painting. Once again, word of the artist’s talent spread. His business flourished. At the same time, his artistic expression continued to evolve. It was during this period that he produced his most significant works, such as ‘The Family of Notary Dr Josef Eltz’. Even Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the most famous composers of the time, commissioned a portrait from Waldmüller. What an honour! br/br/rnEven today, Ferdinand Waldmüller’s portraits hold a special appeal for us. His works possess a remarkable depth. Moreover, one recognises Waldmüller’s unmistakable trademark: the naturalistic depiction of daylight and the sun. Waldmüller mastered this like hardly any other artist of his generation. He likely developed his trademark during his travels, which took him to Italy and Paris. Particularly in the south, he repeatedly captured ancient ruins in his artworks. He perfected his rendering of light and shadow, thereby lending genre painting a new dimension that no one had ever achieved before. The artist lived to the age of 72.
