Claudius Schraudolph the Younger
Claudius Schraudolph the Younger (4 February 1843 - 4 January 1902) was a German painter and illustrator. He produced full-scale paintings, woodcut illustrations and decorative paintings. He is known as "the Younger" to distinguish him from his uncle Claudius, also a painter.
Life
[edit]Born in Munich, he studied not only under his father Johann Schraudolph but also under Hermann Anschütz and Johann Georg Hiltensperger. He was a student assistant to the painters of Speyer Cathedral and initially specialised in religious paintings before switching to genre painting in 1866. He also served in the Austro-Prussian War and Franco-Prussian War as an army Oberleutnant.
He was director of the Royal Art School in Stuttgart from June 1883[1] to 1894. He died in the St. Michael district of Eppan, South Tyrol, Italy in 1902.
