Franz Wolfgang Rohrich

Elector Johann Friedrich of Saxony Electress Sibylle of Saxony

Oil on panel (parquetted). Each 40 x 31 cm.

Following his education at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts from 1809-1812, Franz Wolfgang Rohrich moved to Nuremberg. Here he often painted in the manner of the old masters, based on the works of Lucas Cranach - as shown by the present work - often with the intent to create forgeries. His works sparked a discussion regarding copies and forgeries in old German art which was already begun in the 19th century.
