Anton Depauly

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Felix Depauly (born June 7, 1798 in Mies , Bohemia ; † April 27, 1866 there ) was a Bohemian-Austrian portrait painter .

Life

As the son of the parish archivist Johann Depauly and Elisabetha geb. After his father's death, Schmid went to the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna at the age of seventeen , probably with the support of his uncle, a merchant in Stríbro. After ten years of studying ( drawing and history painting ) he married and started a family in Vienna (with several children). He was led in the royal seat as a history and portrait painter. However, he left the city in the 1840s and returned to his relatives in his birthplace, where he continued to work as a portrait painter. With the exception of 13 composer portraits in the Musikverein's collections, his work in Vienna has not yet been documented; the following decades of his life in Bohemia, where four more oil paintings by him have already been registered, also require further research.

Franz Schubert, painted around 1827 (or until autumn 1828) by Anton Depauly (1798–1866).

Joseph Sonnleithner (from the well-known Viennese family) commissioned a portrait of Franz Schubert for his portrait gallery , which was later sold to the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde , showing him without glasses.
