Antonín Mánes
Life
Mánes was born and died in Prague. He was the son of a miller and was self-taught because his family could not afford to send him to art school. For a time, he earned some extra money working as a painter in a porcelain factory. It wasn't until 1806 that he was able to attend the Academy of Fine Arts, where he was heavily influenced by his teacher, Karel Postl.[1] In 1836, he became a Professor of landscape painting at the Academy. Among his best-known students were Eduard Herold and Johann Kautsky.
He eventually went from painting idealized landscapes to a more romanticized approach and was very fond of the Old Masters. His sons Josef and Quido and his daughter Amalie also became painters.
