Wilhelm Hensel

Wilhelm Hensel was a German painter of the first half of the 19th century. He is known as a painter, mainly as a portraitist.

Hensel worked early in his career, influenced by the Nazarene movement and the ancient masters, so his early oil paintings reflected a romanticized realism. Over time, his portraits became more photographically accurate while retaining their delicacy. Today, more than 1,000 pen and sepia portraits of the master's famous contemporaries survive.
