Friedrich Salzer
Friedrich Salzer (born June 1, 1827 in Heilbronn ; † May 14, 1876 ibid) was a German landscape painter. His preferred subjects included forest views, winter landscapes and architectural images.
Life
Salzer's father Johann Jakob Salzer (1798–1879) had come to Heilbronn from Dettingen an der Erms , where he and his first wife Elisabeth († 1860) founded a paint shop that developed into a paint factory. This first marriage comes from Friedrich Salzer. In 1864 Johann Jakob Salzer married again, the connection with his second wife Caroline, geb. Haas, comes from the publisher Eugen Salzer (1866–1938).
Salzer initially worked in his father's paint factory. He received his first artistic training from the Heilbronn painter Karl Baumann, who encouraged him to move to Munich and continue his education there, which Salzer did in 1846. He stayed there until 1863 and studied with the Tyrolean painter Joseph Anton Rhomberg , who had been a professorship as a drawing teacher in Munich since 1827. Salzer's circle of friends included the painters Carl Ebert, Richard Zimmermann , whose style he followed, and August von Kotzebue, for whom he painted the landscape background for some of his great battle pictures.
In 1863 he returned to Heilbronn and became engaged to Emilie von Lobstein two years later. The couple had four sons. Taking over his father's factory and his poor health left him little time for art in the last years of his life.
