Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VEIT, PHILIPP (1793-1877) ,
German
  painter, one of the leaders of the
German
  romantic school, was born in Berlin. Having received his first art education in Dresden and Vienna, he was strongly influenced by, and joined the group of, the
Nazarenes
  in Rome, where he worked for some years before taking up his abode in
Frankfort
 . In this city, where his most important works are preserved at the Staedel Institute, he was active from 183o to 1843, as director of the art collections and as professor of
painting
 . From 1853 to his death in 1877 he held the post of director of the municipal gallery at Mayence. Like his fellow-
Nazarenes
  he was more draughtsman than painter, and though his sense of colour was stronger than that of Over-beck or Cornelius, his works are generally more of the nature of coloured cartoons than of paintings in the
modern
  sense. His
principal
 
work
  is the large fresco of "The Introduction of Christianity into Germany by St
Boniface
 ," at the Staedel Institute in
Frankfort
 . In the
cathedral
  of that city is his " Assumption," whilst the Berlin National Gallery has his
painting
  of " The Two Marys at the Sepulchre." To Veit is due the credit of having been the first to revive the almost forgotten technique of fresco painting.
