Heinrich von Zügel (1850-1941) Heinrich von Zügel started taking his first drawing classes and practiced the study of animals at the tender age of 14. He received a scholarship in 1869, which enabled him to study at the Art School in Stuttgart under Bernhard von Neher (1806-1886) and Heinrich von Rustige (1810-1900), where he came across oil paint for the first time. As off 1871 he gained international success and in 1878 he took part in the Great Exhibition in Paris. Study trips to Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and England followed. Especially the trips to Belgium and the Netherlands brought von Zügel closer to Impressionism and familiarized him with the art of paintingen plein air. With the beginning of the 1880s, Zügel painted in the moor landscape around the German city Dachau and began to paint the animals more as a natural part of the landscape and not as protagonists as before. In 1888 he was made an honorary member of the Art Academy of Munich, where he started teaching the subject of animal painting. Alfred Lichtwark, the director of the “Kunsthalle Hamburg” commissioned him to arrange a collection of paintings of Hamburg. He taught at the Academy until his 70thBirthday and died in Munich at the age of 91 in 1941. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
