About the Artist:
Carl Spitzweg, a German artist celebrated for his Romantic genre paintings, depicted bookkeepers, merchants, hermits, and poets in their respective settings, aligning with the sentiments of the Biedermeier period. Born on February 5, 1808, in Unterpfaffenhofen, Germany, Spitzweg immersed himself in the study of Flemish masters and pursued painting fervently. His works now grace esteemed collections such as the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, and the Courtauld Institute in London. Spitzweg passed away on September 23, 1885, in Munich, leaving behind a legacy as a prominent figure of the Biedermeier era.
