Martin Hannibal (painter)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Hannibal (* 1640 ; † 1720 in Clausthal ) was a German-Hungarian painter and draftsman who worked mainly in Stockholm .

Life

Hannibal received his artistic training in Germany and Italy. In 1675 he was invited by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl to Stockholm, where he - freed from the guild obligation - founded an artistic drawing and painting school under Ehrenstrahl's patronage, which he ran until the 1690s. The students at this facility included Michael Dahl , David von Krafft , David Richter the Elder and Anna Maria Ehrenstrahl .

While the older literature attributes Hannibal to the management of the French artisans who were employed in the new construction of the north wing of the Stockholm Palace , this is doubted by the more recent literature due to the complete lack of archival sources indicating this.

Works by Hannibal, who was considered a talented portrait painter, have not survived. His style has been described as "particularly skillful" at the time.
