Anselm Feuerbach stood as the foremost classicist painter of Germany's 19th-century school. His compositions embody the statuesque dignity and simplicity characteristic of Greek art, stemming from a deep immersion in classical knowledge. Feuerbach strongly advocated for the crucial role of technical mastery in art, asserting that even the loftiest ideas require skilled craftsmanship for their expression. His distinctive style, shaped by the Italian masters and classical influences, represents a pinnacle of German painting.
