Hans Anton Williard
Hans Anton Williard (born February 21, 1832 in Dresden ; † May 13, 1867 there ) was a German landscape and vedute painter , draftsman and lithographer .
Life
Williard was the son and from the age of 15 a pupil of the lithographer Johann Anton Williard . In the summer of 1852 he studied - often interrupted by professional activity - at the Dresden Art Academy . From 1853 to the end of 1864 he worked as a lithographer in the lithographic institute of JG Bach in Leipzig. Then he settled in Dresden. In September 1860 he married Elisabeth Fischer, the sister of his childhood friend Benno Fischer .
Williard acquired the skills of landscape painting as an autodidact after initial father's instruction. He created watercolors and lithographs that earned him reputation and recognition. Study trips took him to Saxony, Franconia and especially to Thuringia, where the Wartburg cast a spell over him . For Gustav Täubert's (1817–1913) art publisher in Dresden, he drew an album of the Bavarian high mountains in 1860/61. At that time he belonged to a painters' colony in Hintersee .
