Franz von Stuck
Franz von Stuck was a German artist of exceptional skills as a painter, sculptor, engraver, photographer, and draughtsman. He was born in Tettenweis, Germany, in 1863. He was a member-founder of the Munich Secession in 1893, and together with other artists, he was a forerunner of the Art Nouveau experience, called Jugendstil in Germany. Thanks to his style of formal perfection, sensuality and decadent sensitivity, he seduced the art world of half Europe. Von Stuck was particularly successful in Italy, to such an extent that he was granted a solo show at the Venice Biennial of 1909. His figurative repertory derived from classical art centaurs, fauns, nymphs drawn from antique mythology in the wake of a tradition inaugurated by Arnold Böcklin and was mediated through a fin-de-siècle sensibility towards eroticism and artfulness.
