Friedrich Friedländer
1825–1901
A Bohemian-born artist, Friedrich Friedländer was a celebrated genre painter who studied at the Vienna Academy. Friedländer began his career as a history painter—the most prestigious genre of academic painting at the time—creating the sensational The Death of Tasso, prior to devoting the majority of his oeuvre to genre scenes. He was awarded several orders of knighthood, including the Order of Francis Joseph and the Bavarian Order of Michael in 1865, and the crown for merit in 1867. He later was elevated to noble status with the suffix von Mahlheim appended to his title.
