Friedrich Nerly
Friedrich von Nerly was a German Romantic painter and collector. He is known for his vedotes from Venice. He is sometimes called 'the Elder' to distinguish him from his son, the painter Friedrich Paul Nerly.
In 1883 his entire art collection was donated to the city of Erfurt by his son Friedrich on the condition that it would be used to create a museum. This was done and the Angermuseum opened in 1886.
