Description: | Signed: yes Description: August Muller specialised in sentimental paintings of everyday life. He trained in Stuttgart under H. Rustige, moving to Munich in 1865. Munich attracted many artists because of its acclaimed Academy, annual painting exhibitions and good local economy. Specialists in scenes of everyday life were amongst the most successful in this city. The combination of man and child in this painting was a profitable format for Muller: related paintings show grandfathers teaching or playing with babies or infants, a subject that appealed to Victorian collectors. Trade links between Bradford and Germany may well explain the presence of this painting here. | Subjects: | everyday life; trade and industry | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Muller, August (German artist, 1836-1885) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8856... | Go to resource |
