Everything about Maler M Ller totally explained
Friedrich Müller (
13 January 1749 -
23 April 1825),
German poet,
dramatist and
painter, is best known for his slightly sentimental prose
idylls on country life. Usually known as
Maler (for example
painter).
Early life and education
Müller was born in
Kreuznach. He studied painting at
Zweibrücken, and in 1774-1775 settled in
Mannheim, where in 1777 he was appointed court painter.
Painting
In 1778 he was enabled by a public subscription to visit
Italy, which remained his home for the rest of his life. In 1780 he became a
Roman Catholic. He was unfavourably influenced by the study of Italian models, and gradually gave up painting and devoted himself to the study of the history of art; his services as
cicerone were especially in demand among German visitors to
Rome. He died in Rome in 1825.
Literature
Before he left Mannheim he'd tried his hand at
literature, under the influence of the
Sturm und Drang movement. A lyric drama,
Niobe (1778), attracted little attention; but
Faust's Leben dramatisiert (
Faust's Life Dramatized) (1778) appealed to the turbulent spirit of the time, and
Gob und Genoveva (begun in 1776, but not published until 1801) was an excellent imitation of
Goethe's
Götz von Berlichingen. He struck out a more independent path in his idylls, notably
Die Schafschur, (1775) and
Das Nusskernen (1811), in which, emancipating himself from the artificiality of
Gessner, he reproduced scenes not without a touch of
satire from the German peasant life of his day.
Maler Muller's
Werke appeared in 3 vols. (1811-1825); in 1868 H.
Hettner published two volumes of
Dichtungen von Maler Muller, which contain most of his writings.
Gedichte von Maler Friedrich Muller; eine Nachlese zu dessen Werken appeared in 1873, and his
Fausts Leben was reprinted by B. Seuffert in 1881.
