Franz Werner von Tamm
Franz Werner von Tamm, known as Dapper, was a German Baroque painter. One of the most famous masters of German still life in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
Franz Werner von Tamm studied painting in Italy in the studio of Carlo Maratta. In 1701 he was invited to Vienna as court painter to Emperor Leopold I, where he remained until his death.
He painted with a soft brush live and dead poultry as well as flowers and animals, rather decoratively with an immediate mood.
