Fritz Zuber-Buhler

Fritz Zuber-Buhler (1822 – November 23, 1896) was a Swiss painter in the style of Academic Classicism, born at Le Locle in Switzerland.

Later he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and then refined his technical skills with François-Édouard Picot, who followed the same lineage of contemporaneous artists such as Léon Perrault, Bouguereau, and Alexandre Cabanel.

In subsequent Salons he showed works in many media: oil paintings, drawings, pastels and watercolors.

Zuber-Buhler exhibited in the United States at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and achieved considerable success.

He exhibited at the Salon (Paris) until 1891, by which time the European academic tradition he represented was past its heyday.
