Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld

Oil Painting ID: 62558

Madonna and Child

74 x 62 cm Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne The experience of Italy was not only decisive for the majority of German landscape artists of the nineteenth century but also for figurative painting, secular as well as sacred. In 1818 Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld moved to Rome from his home town of Leipzig. There he joined the Lukas-Bund (Guild of St Luke), an artists' group originally set up by Friedrich Overbeck and Franz Pforr in Vienna in opposition to the academy there. After Overbeck and Pforr had moved to Rome the Lukas-Bund exercised great influence (though Pforr died in 1812), and not only on the German artists in Rome. The members of the group, called the 'Nazarenes' after their long hair like Christ's, wanted to return to what they saw as the simple truth and piety of Derer and the early Italian Renaissance. They tried in their work to employ the forms, style and colour of the Old Masters. The composition and clear luminous colour of the Madonna and Child illustrates Schnorr's intensive, creative relationship with the Italian Renaissance. Artist: SCHNORR VON CAROLSFELD, Julius Title: Madonna and Child , painting Date: 1801-1850 German : religious

Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld:
1794-1872 Painter and draughtsman, brother of Ludwig Ferdinand Schnorr von Carolsfeld. He was taught engraving by his father and then trained under Heinrich Feger at the Akademie in Vienna (1811-15). Though not particularly excited by the curriculum, he was inspired by his friendship with Ferdinand Olivier and Joseph Anton Koch and the circle around A. W. Schlegel to an interest in both landscape sketching and in old German and Netherlandish art, as reflected in the style of the detailed pen drawing of the Prodigal Son (1816; Dresden, Kupferstichkab.). From 1815 to 1818 he lived in the house of Ferdinand Olivier, whose step-daughter, Marie Heller, he later married. A painting of 1817, St Roch Distributing Alms
