August Riedel

Johann Friedrich Ludwig Heinrich August Riedel was a German painter of the mid-nineteenth century who lived most of his life in Italy. He is known as a painter famous for his genre scenes and sensual portraits of women.

August Riedel also created psychological portraits, but his main "skate" is considered to be Italian genre scenes with a rich and light color scheme. One of his most famous works is a painting of the biblical Judith, painted in 1840. Riedel enjoyed success as an artist, receiving commissions from noble representatives of Germany, Italy and Bavaria, but over time his fame waned as public tastes turned to realism.
