Fritz Bamberger (painter)

Bamberger was born in Würzburg in the Kingdom of Bavaria, the fourth son of two Bavarian musicians.

He moved back to Würzburg in 1828, and then studied painting under Johann Georg Primavesi in Kassel from 1831.

[1] His artistic career was interrupted from 1837 to 1840 as he served a three-year term with the artillery corps in Würzburg.

He took several trips to Spain, which would prove to have a large influence on his career, as he began specializing in scenes of the Spanish landscape.

He was made a professor in 1870, but his health began to deteriorate, and he died in 1873 during a therapeutic trip to Neuenhain in Bad Soden.
