Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller | Genre / Romantic painter

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (Vienna, 1793 – Hinterbrühl, 1865) è stato un pittore e scrittore Austriaco.
Considerato con Friedrich von Amerling il più grande ritrattista austriaco del XIX secolo.
Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller frequentò brevemente l'Accademia di belle arti di Vienna ma, per vivere, iniziò a realizzare ritratti.
Nel 1811 si recò in Croazia per svolgere la professione di insegnante d'arte. Tornato a Vienna tre anni dopo, iniziò a migliorare le proprie abilità ricopiando i capolavori dei più grandi maestri.
Waldmüller indirizzò quindi il suo interesse alla natura e iniziò a dipingere paesaggi, di cui divenne maestro.
