Anton Braith

He was also a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich Braith was born in Biberach an der Riß.

Later, in 1860, he and his classmate Albert Kappis moved to Munich, where they made the acquaintance of Christian Mali and became involved in several local "art colonies".

As he had never married, he left his estate to the city of Biberach, which used part of his legacy to create a museum.

Braith was a member of the Munich School and, after the death of Friedrich Voltz, was considered the greatest painter of animals in Germany.

His success as a painter is often attributed to a sense of nostalgia induced by Germany's rapidly industrializing culture.
