Friedrich Geselschap
Friedrich Geselschap was a German historical painter who worked in the Classical style. He studied painting at the academies of fine arts in Dresden and Düsseldorf with Karl Ferdinand Sohn, Heinrich Mücke and Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow.
The Romantic-religious aspects of the Nazarenes had little influence on Gezielschap's artistic development. Rather, it was guided by their neo-classical ideas. It was the ancient models and his fascination with the Italian Renaissance masters, above all Raphael, that made Friedrich Gesellschap a proponent of idealism.
