Wilhelm von Kaulbach (1804/5 - 1874)
"I consider Kaulbach the greatest and noblest painter of the century. Some may have excelled him in refined grace and others in minuteness of finish; but as regards the higher aims of mind that constitute genius, he, I think, surpasses them all."
---- Samuel Carter Hall, Editor, The Art Journal of London (1883)
Born poor in either 1804 or 1805, the son of an impoverished goldsmith and copper engraver, Wilhelm von Kaulbach became one of the most successful and celebrated artists of his age, thanks in no small measure, to King Ludwig.
In 1822, he began studying with Peter Cornelius at the Düsseldorf Academy.
