Life

Anton Schwarz was born in Spittelgrund No. 3 near Grottau an der Neisse in Northern Bohemia. He was the fifth son of field gardener Wenzel Schwarz and Anna Bernert. He was baptized in the Roman Catholic Creed in the parish church of St. Bartholomew in Grottau. There were 5 brothers of the 16 children who had the profession of sculptor and history painter. The bishop of Dresden-Bautzen, her uncle Franz Bernert , financed and promoted her education and provided for a degree.

Anton Schwarz and his brother Adolf Schwarz worked together since 1897. You ran a studio in Dresden under the name “Fa. Gebr. Schwarz ". Another of his brothers was the well-known sculptor Franz Schwarz . Another brother, Joseph Schwarz, worked for a while in Franz Schwarz's studio. Another was the well-known and very productive painter Franz Wenzel Schwarz .

On May 3, 1879, Anton Schwarz married Elisabeth Claus in Dresden. After his marriage he lived with his wife until 1885 with his brother Franz Schwarz (also a sculptor) in the house in Dresden. He was buried on May 3, 1905 at the Johannisfriedhof in Dresden-Tolkewitz (Lg.1.B.1.3), where the grave monument (symbols: tree of life , artist's hat and coat with sculptor's tools) can still be seen today. Anton Schwarz had four children (one son and three daughters). His descendants, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren and great-great-great-granddaughter, still look after the monuments at the Johannisfriedhof Dresden-Tolkewitz today.
