Unser Liederbuch - 1900
I love the joyfulness of the imagery in this book of music from 1900 by Ludwig von Zumbusch. I'm guessing the music is equally joyful.Image of Ludwig von Zumbusch. Source: Wikipedia“Ludwig von Zumbusch was a German realist painter and illustrator. Born on July 17, 1861 in Munich, Germany to the sculptor Caspar Ritter von Zumbusch, he went on to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in both Vienna and Munich. Over the course of his lengthy career, Zumbusch produced primarily portraits and figural paintings of children, although he also contributed to early German poster design, and painted nudes and amusing scenes of upper-class life. Rendered in an innately academic style, his works gained him critical and commercial success, resulting in his appointment as a professor at the Munich Academy of Art in 1905, and gaining the title of Knight by the Kingdom of Bavaria the same year. Zumbusch died on February 28, 1927.” from ArtnetSee also Wikipedia. Image Source: WikipediaImage Source: WikipediaKeyword: Minadealmeida
