Felix Maria Diogg (1 July 1762 – 19 February 1834) was a Swiss painter. Born in Andermatt, as an adult he made Rapperswil his home. Diogg is considered as the most important Swiss Classicism portraitist. == Life and work == Born as the son of Katharina Deflorin from Tavetsch, and the carpenter, painter, gilder and farmer Johann Columban, Felix Maria Diogg grew up in Andermatt in the canton of Uri. The great fire of Andermatt in 1766 forced the family to move to Tschamut in the canton of Graubünden where the abbot of Disentis, Columban Sozzi, paid attention to the talent of the shepherd boy. In 1780 he enabled Diogg to travel to the painter Johann Melchior Wyrsch who ran an art school in Besançon. From 1785 to 1788 Diogg travelled to Firenze, Roma and Napoli in Italy. In 1788 he returned back to Switzerland, but went again on the move one year later. Felix Christoph Fuchs Cajetan, painter and writer in residence of Rapperswil, prompted Diogg to come to Rapperswil where Diogg was introduced to the influential families. In 1790/91 Diogg painted a series of portraits of the Families Curti, Fuchs, Rickenmann and Helbling, and Diogg received more numerous portrait commissions. In 1791 he became a citizen of Rapperswil and married Anna Elsa Franziska (Lisette) Diogg-Curti, the daughter of guild master Karl Ludwig, in July 1792.〔 The couple had four children: Maria Franziska Magdalena Elisabeth Bonaventura (1793–1855) was married to Jost Ribar Rüegg and died without descendants. Felix Columban Diogg (1795–1842) was named after his oncle and became a politician and an officer, and two other children, a boy and a girl, died after birth. In Zürich Diogg portrayed the members of the industrialist family Esslinger in 1793. A year later, the now upstart Diogg published, influenced by the ideas of the French Revolution, an open letter in which he denounced the hypocrisy of the provincial aristocracy. In 1797 he met Goethe in Stäfa on Zürichsee lake shore where he painted "Freiheitstafel für die vom Zürcher Rat gemassregelten Patrioten", literally the ''Freedom panel for the patriots reprimanded by the Zürich Council'' in 1798. Even in his arrived years Diogg was traveling: he painted in Appenzell, St. Gallen and Herisau, from 1799 to 1809 in Bern and western Switzerland, later in Alsace and in Karlsruhe where he portrayed the Russian Empress Elizabeth Alexeyevna in 1814. In 1816 Diogg was in Frankfurt am Main, but the ''Zürichsee'' region remained the center of his sphere. Among others, in 1819 Diogg painted portraits of the families Biedermann, Blum and Sulzer in Winterthur. Felix Maria Diogg died in Rapperswil in 1834.〔 Ulysses von Salis.JPG|Ulysses von Salis-Marschlins Maria Franziska Diogg (1793-1855), Tochter des Malers, Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert), um 1814 - Felix Maria Diogg - Stadtmuseum Rapperswil 2013-04-06 15-11-35 (P7700).JPG|Maria Franziska Diogg (1793-1855), daughter, oil on canvas around 1814, Stadtmuseum Rapperswil-Jona Felix Columban Diogg - Öl auf Holz, um 1815 - Felix Maria Diogg - Stadtmuseum Rapperswil 2013-04-06 15-11-04 (P7700).JPG|Felix Columban Diogg, son, oil on wood, around 1815 Felix Maria Diogg - Selbstporträt - Ratssaal - Rathaus Rapperswil 2015-09-26 15-12-24.JPG|self-portrait, around 1825, Rathaus Rapperswil 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Felix Maria Diogg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
