The family's property at Neuhausergasse (today: Neuhauser Straße) 14 was a stately property that later gave Carl Spitzweg financial independence through his inheritance. Carl's father came from the village of Unterpfaffenhofen near the town of Fürstenfeldbruck in today's Fürstenfeldbruck district (in Upper Bavaria), where his family had become wealthy. Until 1807, Spitzweg's father's business base was the trade in spices in Munich. His relatives controlled thriving fruit businesses. Simon Spitzweg was an educated businessman who gained respect and reputation in Munich through his political activities. Carl Spitzweg had two brothers whose careers were just as determined by their father as his own. The eldest, Simon, was to take over the business, Carl was to become a pharmacist and the youngest, Eduard, was to become a doctor.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In Munich, he suffered under his strict father, who tried to forbid him from drawing. After his mother died, in 1819, in same year, his father married his late wife's sister, Maria Krescence. She took great care of Carl and defended him against his father. </p><p>From 1819, Carl Spitzweg attended the Munich college and went through the two Latin preparatory classes and the two preparatory classes with varying degrees of success. He left the high school, today's Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich, in 1824, after the second (of four) high school years. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Carl_Spitzweg_-_Selbstbildnis_(ca._1842).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Carl_Spitzweg_-_Selbstbildnis_%28ca._1842%29.jpg/200px-Carl_Spitzweg_-_Selbstbildnis_%28ca._1842%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="221" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Carl_Spitzweg_-_Selbstbildnis_%28ca._1842%29.jpg/300px-Carl_Spitzweg_-_Selbstbildnis_%28ca._1842%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Carl_Spitzweg_-_Selbstbildnis_%28ca._1842%29.jpg/400px-Carl_Spitzweg_-_Selbstbildnis_%28ca._1842%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="723" data-file-height="800" /></a><figcaption><i>Self-Portrait</i> (c. 1842)</figcaption></figure> <p>Although his artistic talent was early, with his first drawing from 1823, Carl Spitzweg was obedient to his father and began his apprenticeship in the “city pharmacy” with Sigmund Lober in February 1825. On December 1, 1828, during the last year of his apprenticeship, his father died. </p><p>In 1829 he worked in the “Löwenapotheke” in the city of <a href="/wiki/Straubing" title="Straubing">Straubing</a>. He lived there for a year, and was acquainted with theater people and painters. The same year, his eldest brother died working as a merchant in <a href="/wiki/Alexandria" title="Alexandria">Alexandria</a>, <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a>. </p><p>Spitzweg began studying pharmacy, botany and chemistry at the University of Munich in 1830, which he completed with honors in 1832. He was now licensed as a practicing pharmacist. In 1833, Spitzweg gave up his career as a pharmacist. During a spa stay in Bad Sulz, <a href="/wiki/Pei%C3%9Fenberg" title="Peißenberg">Peißenberg</a>, after an illness, he decided to devote himself to painting in a full-time level. The decision was made easier by the fact that he received the share of his inheritance at this time. </p><p>Spitzweg was self-taught as an artist, starting by copying the works of <a href="/wiki/Flanders" title="Flanders">Flemish</a> masters. He contributed with his first work to satiric magazines. In 1835, he became a member of the Munich Art Association. This was followed by trips to <a href="/wiki/Dalmatia" title="Dalmatia">Dalmatia</a> (1839), <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a> (1850), and, in the company of the landscape painter <a href="/wiki/Eduard_Schleich_the_Elder" title="Eduard Schleich the Elder">Eduard Schleich</a>, to <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a>, <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>, where they visited the first world exhibition, in 1851.

His later paintings and drawings are often humorous <a href="/wiki/Genre_works" class="mw-redirect" title="Genre works">genre works</a>. Many of his paintings depict sharply characterized eccentrics, for example <i><a href="/wiki/The_Bookworm_(painting)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Bookworm (painting)">The Bookworm (1850)</a></i> and <i>The Hypochondriac</i> (c. 1865, in the <a href="/wiki/Neue_Pinakothek" title="Neue Pinakothek">Neue Pinakothek</a>, <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Since 1844 he was an employee of the weekly magazine <i>Fliegenden Blätter</i>, where he published numerous humorous drawings. </p><p>Spitzweg died of a stroke, shortly after the death of his younger brother, on September 23, 1885, at the age of 77. He was found dead in his Munich apartment. He was buried in the <a href="/wiki/Alter_S%C3%BCdfriedhof" title="Alter Südfriedhof">Alter Südfriedhof</a>, in <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Artwork">Artwork</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Carl_Spitzweg&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Artwork"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Spitzweg created over 1,500 pictures and drawings. Since 1824 he began painting with oil paints. During his lifetime, he was able to sell around four hundred paintings. He found admirers and buyers primarily among the citizens who had gained new purchasing power.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>His painting style belongs to the late <a href="/wiki/Romanticism" title="Romanticism">romantic</a> period. Initially Spitzweg was associated with the <a href="/wiki/Biedermeier" title="Biedermeier">Biedermeier</a> style, but later his style of painting became more relaxed and closer to <a href="/wiki/Impressionism" title="Impressionism">impressionism</a>. Spitzweg drew a lot in his youth. Even while working in the pharmacy, he drew the heads of real and imaginary sick people, young and old, as well as the people from the small town of <a href="/wiki/Straubing" title="Straubing">Straubing</a>. What Spitzweg particularly appreciated about this idyllic town was the picturesque small townscape with the narrow streets and graceful bay windows, the turrets, fountains and stone figures. These motifs will appear often in his paintings. </p><p>Spitzweg depicted people in their contemporary bourgeois milieu. In his small format paintings, he depicts the Biedermeier petty bourgeoisie, the oddball eccentrics and romantic events. He did represent human weaknesses, but not the wicked or the mean: anything coarse was alien to Spitzweg. <i>The Poor Poet</i>, Spitzweg's best-known and most popular work, dates from 1839. In <i>The Cactus Lover</i>, Spitzweg shows the office worker in front of his favorite plant. Paintings such as <i>At the Antiquary</i>, <i>Sentinel at the Gate</i>, <i>The Alchemist</i>, <i>The Bookworm</i>, among others, are also representative of his style.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Through his friendship with the landscape painter Eduard Schleich, with whom he traveled many times, he became more aware of the landscape. With a sense of nature and color, he painted grandiose mountain massifs and their open expanses, romantic forest corners, the green plateaus with forests, meadows and harvest fields, mostly in good weather, because he preferred to depict the light. </p><p>Spitzweg had a keen sense of color. Through his pharmacist training, he gained chemical and technical experience in the production of his paints. He used a unique, bright shade of blue that cannot be found in any other painter. He also knew how to produce lasting colors. From his long travels, Spitzweg brought home a rich collection of sketches, which he used to create his paintings in the studio.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Forgeries">Forgeries</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Carl_Spitzweg&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Forgeries"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the late 1930s an art forgery case in Germany involved 54 paintings which had been passed off as Spitzweg originals. They had been painted by a Traunstein copyist named Toni, who worked from reproductions and picture postcards. Toni signed the works "in the style of Spitzweg" with his own name, but fraudsters later removed his name and artificially aged the paintings in order to sell them as originals.
