From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Friedländer, later Friedrich Ritter von Friedländer-Malheim/Mahlheim (born January 10, 1825, Kohljanowitz/Uhlířské Janovice, Bohemia - June 13, 1901, Vienna) was a Bohemian-Austrian painter.

He studied at the Vienna Academy, and later under Professor Waldmüller, and visited Italy in 1850, Düsseldorf in 1852, and finally Paris. He devoted himself at first to historical pictures, creating a genuine sensation with his painting entitled "The Death of Tasso". Since 1854 he has painted genre pictures exclusively, taking his subjects chiefly from military life and the local life of Vienna. His scenes from Swabian folk-life are also justly celebrated.
