Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (26 March 1794 – 24 May 1872) was a German painter, associated with the Nazarene movement. ==Biography== Schnorr was born in Leipzig, the son of Veit Hanns Schnorr von Carolsfeld 〔Artist biography in ''German Masters of the Nineteenth Century'', pp.272–3〕 (1764–1841), a draughtsman, engraver and painter, from whom he received his initial artistic education.〔 his earliest known works being copies of the Neoclassical drawings of John Flaxman.In 1811 he entered the Vienna Academy, from which Johann Friedrich Overbeck and others who rebelled against the old conventional style had been expelled about a year before.〔 There he studied under Friedrich Heinrich Füger, and became friends with Joseph Anton Koch and Heinrich Olivier, both of who would have an important influence on his style.〔 Schnorr followed Overbeck and the other the founders of the Nazarene movement to Rome in 1815. This school of religious and romantic art tended to reject modern styles, attempting to revert to and revive the principles and practice of earlier periods.〔 At the beginning of his time in Rome, Schnorr was particularly influenced by his close study of fifteenth-century Italian painting, especially the works of Fra Angelico. Soon however, he abandoned this refined simplicity, and began to look towards more elaborate High Renaissance models.〔 From its outset the Nazarene movement made an effort to recover fresco painting and monumental art, and Schnorr found opportunity of demonstrating his powers when commissioned to decorate the entrance hall of the Villa Massimo near the Lateran with frescoes illustrating the works of Ariosto. 〔''Encyclopædia Britannica'', 1911〕 Other cycles in the house were begun by Peter von Cornelius and Johann Friedrich Overbeck.〔Schiff, Gert, "An Epoch of longing" in ''German Masters of the Nineteenth Century'', p.18〕 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「Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
