The painter Anselm Feuerbach was one of the most important German painters of the 19th century alongside Böcklin. He lived and worked mainly in Paris and Rome and finally in Venice. In his early phase he copied great masters. The world of his work became Italy and antiquity. His "Pieta" (Munich, Schock-Galerie), painted in 1863, and the "lphigenie" (Darmstadt, Hessian State Museum), used here as a model, achieved fame.
