Julius Adam the Younger

A CAT WITH THREE KITTENS

Oil on panel. 16 x 21 cm.
J. Adam 1887.

Julius Adam the Younger was a member of a large family of Munich artists. First he turned away from the family tradition of animal painting and painted genre scenes. However, after 1882 he started to paint animal paintings, specializing on the depiction of cats. His brilliantly painted paintings were very popular and much sought after among collectors also in the United States. Because of the subject he mostly painted, he was called the “Raphael of Cats” during his life time.
