Описание: Excerpt from Shakespeare Scenes and Characters: A Series of Illustrations, Designed by Adamo, Hofmann, Makart, Pecht, Schwoerer, and Spiess F. Pecht is known alike as an artist and a man of letters. From his birth-place, Constance, he passed successively to Munich, to Dresden, to Leipzig, being engaged in the practice of lithography and in portrait painting. At Paris he came under the influence of Paul Delaroche. From 1848 onwards he spent three years in England, and finally settled in Munich. A series of paintings from subjects suggested by the lives of Goethe and Schiller was succeeded by the illustration of their works and of those of Lessing in the Schiller, Goethe, and Lessing Galleries issued under either Pecht's sole superintendence or in joint editorship with A. Von Ramberg. The present Shakespeare Scenes may be looked upon as a continuation of these works. As a critic he has on various occasions been of service in calling attention to the works of rising artists of the Munich school. In, the Munich Maximilianeum may be seen twelve figures of warriors and statesmen, more than life-size, which serve as examples of Pecht's work in fresco. At present he is engaged together with Schwoerer in adorning the council-hall at Constance with frescoes representing the history of the old imperial town, and especially the period of the famous Council of 1414 - 18.
