Deutsche Kunstler In Rom / German Artists in Rome (colour litho)

Deutsche Kunstler In Rom. Italien ist dem Deutschen stets das Land seiner Sehnsucht gewesen. Im 19 Jahrh zog, meist durch furstliche Gonner gefordert, mancher deutsche Kunstler dorthin, um unter heiterem sudlichen Himmel seine Kunst zu vollenden. In den grossen italienischen Stadten entstanden deutsche Kunstlerkolonien, in denen der Einzelne Anschluss an Gleichgesinnte fand. Translation: German Artists in Rome. Italy has always been the country of his longing for the German. In the 19th century, many a German artist moved there, mostly at the request of princely patrons, to complete his art under a clear southern sky. In the large Italian cities, German artists' colonies emerged, in which the individual found contact with like-minded people.
