SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Reinhard Sebastian Zimmermann (1815–1893), a German painter, trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Julius Schnorr, Heinrich Maria von Hess and Clemens von Zimmermann. He began as a portrait painter before becoming court painter to the Grand Duke of Baden. The works mentioned include The Little Savoyard with the Bagpipes (1860), Baden Postilion (1870) and Setting Out to Fish, with no date specified.
Paintings by Zimmermann are recorded at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Neue Pinakothek in Munich. His sons Ernst and Alfred Zimmermann were also painters. Another catalogue, published in Hagnau in 2005 under the editorship of Rudolf Dimmeler, concerns the Zimmermann family of painters and their impressions of Lake Constance, Dalmatia and Italy.
