Clement Evangelist della Croce

Clemens Johann Evangelist della Croce (born December 28, 1782 in Burghausen , † March 9, 1823 ) was a Bavarian painter .

Life

Clemens was born the son of Johann Nepomuk della Croce on December 28, 1782 in Burghausen. Della Croce learned the craft from his father, with whom he worked until around 1850, when he was a child. In 1811 he received painter justice and citizenship in Burghausen. In the same year he married Josepha Carolina Beck, daughter of a royal medical councilor and city magistrate. He had five children with her. Their fifth child, Karl Klemens della Croce followed him in 1840. Della Croce died on March 9, 1823.

Clemens della Croce took over both the motifs and the baroque - classical style of his father, whereby the transition of the epochs was easier for him. He was extremely productive as a painter and created 15 altarpieces , over 40 portraits and a large number of mainly religious pictures.
