FEUERBACH, ANSELM (1829-188o) , German painter, born at
Spires
 , the son of a well-known archaeologist, was the leading classicist painter of the German 19th-century school. He was the first to realize the danger arising from contempt of technique, that mastery of craftsmanship was needed to express even theloftiest ideas, and that an ill-
drawn
  coloured cartoon can never be the supreme achievement in art. After having passed through the art schools of Dusseldorf and
Munich
 , he went to Antwerp and subsequently to Paris, where he benefited by the teaching of Couture, and produced his first masterpiece, "
Hafiz
  at the Fountain " in 1852. He subsequently worked at Karlsruhe, Venice (where he fell under the spell of the greatest school of colourists), Rome and Vienna. He was steeped n classic knowledge, and his figure compositions have the statuesque dignity and simplicity of Greek art. Disappointed with the reception given in Vienna to his
design
  of " The Fall of the
Titans
  " for the ceiling of the Museum of Modelling, he went to live in Venice, where he died in 1880. His works are to be found at the leading public galleries of Germany;
Stuttgart
  has his " Iphigenia "; Karlsruhe, the "Dante at Ravenna ";
Munich
 , the "
Medea
  "; and Berlin, " The Concert," his last important picture. Among his
chief
  works are also " The Battle of the
Amazons
 ," " Pieta," " The Symposium of Plato," " Orpheus and Eurydice " and " Ariosto in the Park of Ferrara."
