About the Artist:
Fritz Zuber-Buhler was a Swiss painter in the style of Academic Classicism.
Fritz Zuber-Buhler was born in 1822 in Le Locle, Switzerland, but moved to Paris at the age of sixteen to begin his training with Louis Grosclaude. He entered the École des Beaux-Arts and then the atelier of Francois-Edouard Picot. Picot also taught William Bouguereau, Alexandre Cabanel and Léon Perrault amongst others and was a strong proponent of the principles of the Academic tradition.
The young artist travelled to Italy at the age of nineteen and remained there for five years. He studied at the Berlin Academy between 1843 and 1844 and then returned to Paris and began exhibiting his paintings at the annual Salon, making his debut in 1850. Zuber-Buhler continued to exhibit prolifically throughout his career, often entering several paintings in the Salon simultaneously. He also exhibited drawings, pastels and watercolours. In 1867 he exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and was also part of the 1877 exhibition in Philadelphia for which he received an award.
His many and various entries suggest to what extend Zuber-Buhler was interested in varying his themes and also how popular with the Salon judges and the public his works were. He continued to show at the Salon until 1891. He died on November 23rd 1896 in Paris.
