Anton Huxoll
Anton Huxoll (* 1808 in Oeventrop near Arnsberg , Landgraviate Hessen-Darmstadt , † 1840 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German history and genre painter from the Düsseldorf School .
Life
Huxoll studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1827 to 1837 . He stayed in the 1st class of the academy director Wilhelm Schadow from 1835 to 1837. In 1836 he certified his pupil that he “used to be very mannered, now painted a little more naturally”. The painting Des Sängers Abendlied (The Bard in Front of the Royal Family) from 1837 was acquired by the Rheinischer Kunstverein . The association had it engraved by Carl Ludwig Schuler (1782-1852) and distributed in 1843 as an association journal. Other well-known pictures are Jephta's daughter with her friends (1836), The ostracized Oedipus, resting on a ruin on a hike (1836), Almirena and the sorceress Armida (1836) and The King on the Mountain (1838).
In 1837 Huxoll moved to Frankfurt am Main, where he joined Philipp Veit . Because of his early death, his oeuvre remained small.
