Fritz Bamberger (painter)

Fritz ( Friedrich) Bamberger ( born October 17, 1814 Würzburg, † August 13 1873 in New Grove (Taunus ) ) was a German painter. He was known primarily as a landscape painter.

Life

When he was five years old (his father was a musician ), the family moved to Frankfurt am Main. This should not be the last move - stations in Dresden and Berlin followed. Here he began teaching at the Art Academy to take. After a brief return to Würzburg Fritz Bamberger went to Kassel in 1830, where he continued his painting apprenticeship at Primavesi.

The following two decades, he should bring in Würzburg and Frankfurt. First orders on the part of the nobility, home-style family and the press followed. In 1844, a trip to Paris, where he met his friend and painter Philipp Wirth again followed. End of the 1840s he undertook a trip to Spain, where he made acquaintance with Eduard Gerhardt. After his return, he settled in Munich. Further journeys to Italy and Southern Europe followed. This stays the priority of certain subjects of his pictures.

1871 Bamberger was appointed professor; a year later he was a member of the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He died in 1873.

Fritz Bamberger painted primarily in oil. One of his famous students was August Spirit.
