Anselm Feuerbach (September 12, 1829 - January 4, 1880) was a German painter. He was the leading classicist painter of the German 19th-century school. According to the 1911 Britannica, <blockquote>He was the first to realize the danger arising from contempt of technique, that mastery of craftsmanship was needed to express even the loftiest ideas, and that an ill-drawn coloured cartoon can never be the supreme achievement in art.
