Joseph Ritter von Führich was a well-known fresco painter and draftsman, he was active in Rome with the Brotherhood of the Nazarene, the preference was a style of drawing that employed expressive outlines and clarity of detail reminiscent of Albrecht Dürer and Raphael. Führich illustrated many religious-themed books, such as an edition of Ludwig Tieck's play The Life and Death of Saint Genoveva (1799/1800), based on a medieval legend about betrayed innocence. The play in which Genoveva is unfairly accused of being unfaithful by her husband, a character likely based on the 13th-century Duke Ludwig II of Bavaria.
