Ernst Deger
Ernst Deger (15 April 1809, Bockenem - 27 January 1885, Düsseldorf) was a German religious artist, in the style of the Nazarene movement. He is considered to be the main representative of Christian art in the Düsseldorfer Malerschule. Life and work He began his studies in 1828, at the Berlin Art Academy, then moved to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he studied with Wilhelm von Schadow. From 1834 to 1835, he was a student in the Master Class. On behalf of the (Artists' Association), he created an altarpiece for the Church of St. Andreas, showing Mary as the Queen of Heaven. Following its unveiling in 1837, it became one of the region's most popular religious images and found its way into numerous Catholic prayer books as a small andachtsbilder (devotional image). A notable feature is its depiction of Jesus as a toddler, rather than an infant. From 1837 to 1842, he travelled through Italy. After his return, on behalf of Count Franz Egon von Fürstenberg-Stammheim, he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fresco
Fresco (plural ''frescos'' or ''frescoes'') is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid ("wet") lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word ''fresco'' ( it, affresco) is derived from the Italian adjective ''fresco'' meaning "fresh", and may thus be contrasted with fresco-secco or secco mural painting techniques, which are applied to dried plaster, to supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting. The word ''fresco'' is commonly and inaccurately used in English to refer to any wall painting regardless of the plaster technology or binding medium. This, in part, contributes to a misconception that the most geographically and temporally common wall painting technology was the painting into wet lime plaster. Even in appar ...

Peter Molitor
Peter Joseph Molitor (19 September 1821, Koblenz - 15 May 1898, Oberlahnstein) was a German painter, associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule.
