SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Eugen Klimsch (1839–1896), a Frankfurt painter and draughtsman, trained with his father Ferdinand Karl and subsequently with Andreas Müller in Munich. His practice combined genre painting, decorative commissions and illustration, including work for the Brothers Grimm's tales and Walter Scott's novels. He taught at the Städelsches Kunstinstitut from 1895 and also designed banknotes for Bavaria.
The Städel holds The Dance with Death, a preparatory drawing in black pen over pencil, with watercolour on wove paper, showing an old woman dancing with Death. Another sheet, A Young Aristocratic Renaissance Couple at Breakfast, is executed in pencil. These small compositions bring together allegory, storytelling and historical costume: drawing serves both fantastic narrative and the representation of an intimate everyday scene.
This profile brings together identity references for Eugen Klimsch and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
