Heinrich Friedrich Füger (8 December 1751 – 5 November 1818) was a German classicist portrait and historical painter.
Afterward, he travelled and spent some time in Rome and Naples, where he painted frescoes in the Palazzo Caserta.
On his return to Vienna he was appointed court painter, professor, and vice-director of the Academy, and in 1806 director of the Belvedere Gallery.
[3] He painted in the classic style of Louis David[2] and Anton Raphael Mengs and was inclined to be theatrical.
[citation needed] Füger was also a teacher; among his pupils was Gustav Philipp Zwinger, and Franciszek Ksawery Lampi.
