MULLER, FRIEDRICH (1749-1825)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 961 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MULLER, FRIEDRICH (1749-1825) , German poet, dramatist and painter, usually ,known as Maler (i.e. painter) Muller, was born at
Kreuznach
  on the 13th of January 1749. He studied
painting
  at Zweibrucken, and in 1774--1775 settled in
Mannheim
 , where in 1777 he was appointed
court
  painter. In 1778 he was enabled by a public subscription to visit Italy, which remained his
home
  for the rest of his life. In 178o he became a Roman Catholic. He was unfavourably influenced by the study of Italian models, and gradually gave up
painting
  and devoted himself to the study of the history of art; his services as cicerone were especially in demand among German visitors to Rome. Before he left
Mannheim
  he had tried his hand at literature, under the influence of the Sturm and Drang
movement
 . A lyric drama, Niobe (1778), attracted little attention; but Fausts Leben dramatisiert (1778) appealed to the turbulent spirit of the time, and Gala and Genoveva (begun in 1776, but not published till 1811) was an excellent imitation of Goethe's Gotz von Berlichingen. He struck out a more independent path in his idylls, notably Die Schafschur. (1775) and Das Nusskernen (18i1), in which, emancipating himself from the artificiality of Gessner, he reproduced scenesnot without a
touch
  of satirefrom the German peasant-life of his day. He died at Rome on the 23rd of April 1825.
Maley Miiller's Werke appeared in 3 Vols. (x8111825); in 1868 H. Hettner published two volumes of Dichtungen von Maler Muller, which contain most of his writings. Gedichte von Maler
Friedrich
  Muller; eine Nachlese zu dessen Werken appeared in 1873, and his Fausts Leben was reprinted by B. Seuffert in 1881. See A. Sauer,
Sturmer and Dranger," vol. iii. (Kurschner's Deutsche Nationalliteratur, vol. 8i, 1883); and B. Seuffert, Maley Muller (1877).
