About the Artwork
Influenced by his brother, Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, and other Nazarenes, Ludwig Ferdinand Schnorr von Carolsfeld first concerned himself exclusively with religious and literary subjects. In the 1830s, however, he turned more to landscape, in part under the direction of Ferdinand Olivier.
