Ferdinand Fellner (painter)

Life
Fellner attended grammar school in Frankfurt from 1806 to 1817. He then studied law in Heidelberg (1817-1820) and Göttingen (1820-1824) and in 1825 settled in his hometown as a lawyer . He never did this job. Following his inclination to artistic activity, he went to Munich from 1825 to 1831, where the academy teacher Peter von Cornelius had a strong influence on him. Fellner advocated thorough costume and architecture studies for the purpose of history painting and thereby exerted significant influence, as artists like Moritz von Schwind consulted him on costume issues. In 1831 he moved to Stuttgart, where he died in 1859.
