Albert Welti (Zurich 1862, Bern 1912)
The Swiss painter and etcher, best known for the fresco, Die Landsgemeinde in the meeting room of the Ständerat at the Federal Palace and for his dreams and nightmare paintings, begun studing engraving with Johann Conrad Werdmüller . In 1880 he did one year photography apprenticeship with his uncle Oswald Welti in Lausanne. In 1882 he attended the Academy of Fine Arts of Munich under the influence of Arnold Böcklin, who he met in 1885. After graduating, he obtained financial support from Karl von Rose (1854-1912), a generous patron of the arts. After his father's death, he assuaged his grief by visiting Innertkirchen and Vättis, where he created numerous pastel nature studies. After that, he worked in Munich until 1908, where he became friends with Hermann Hesse.
