Desc among others of Oberammergau and Octoberfest; The diary of the first nine months of an art student's life in the studio of the German painter Wilhelm Von Kaulbach in 1850 and 1851. wiki=Wilhelm von Kaulbach (15 October 1805 in Bad Arolsen, Waldeck 7 April 1874) was a German painter, noted mainly as a muralist, but also as a book illustrator. His murals decorate buildings in Munich. He was a student in the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, to which the sculptor Rauch had obtained him admission. The academy was then becoming renowned under the directorship of Peter von Cornelius. The ambitious work by which Ludwig I of Bavaria sought to transform Munich into a German Athens afforded the young painter an appropriate sphere. Cornelius had been commissioned to execute the enormous frescoes in the Glyptothek, and his custom was in the winters, with the aid of Kaulbach and others, to complete the cartoons at Düsseldorf, and in the summers, accompanied by his best pupils, to carry out the designs in colour on the museum walls in Munich. In 1824 Cornelius became director of the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. Kaulbach, not yet twenty, followed, took up his permanent residence in Munich, worked hard on the public works, executed independent commissions, and in 1849, when Cornelius left for Berlin, succeeded to the directorship of the academy, an office which he held till his death.Howitt was also author of The Pioneers of the Spiritual Reformation: Life and Works of Dr. Justinus Kerner Adapted From the German; William Howitt and His Work for Spiritualism [1883].…
