About Eugen Napoleon Neureuther

  • Eugen Napoleon Neureuther (13 January 1806 – 23 March 1882) was a German painter, etcher, and illustrator. Born in Munich, Germany, he was the son and pupil of the painter Ludwig Neureuther (1775–1830).
  • He also studied at the Munich Academy under Wilhelm von Kobell (1766–1855).
  • His talent developed, however under the influence of Cornelius, who employed him on the frescoes in the Glyptothek and in the Königsbau.
  • His illustrations for Goethe's romances and ballads with marginal drawings, published in 1829-39, made his reputation. In 1830 Neureuther visited Paris, where his illustrations of the scenes of the July revolution appeared under the title "Suvenir du 27, 28, 29 juillet" (1831).
  • After his return he published "Marginal Drawings to Bavarian Poets" (1832–35), and in 1838 completed his illustrations to Herder's Cid.
  • His best etching is perhaps the large plate of "Dornröschen" (1839).
  • As a painter, he may be judged by "The Pastor's Daughter of Taubenhain," in the Pinakothek, Munich, and six canvases in the Schack Gallery at Munich.
  • All his work is distinguished by great decorative charm and by purity and nobility of line.
  • He is buried in the Alter Südfriedhof in Munich.
