Ferdinand Andri realized several artworks with this kind of subject: a horse in a natural space under a cloudy sky. Ferdinand Andri (Waidhofen an der Ybbs, 1871 – Wien, 1956) was an Austrian engraver and artist. Between 1884 and 1886, he began an apprenticeship with Johann Kepplinger at Ottensheim, near Linz. Between 1886 and 1893, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wien with Julius Victor Berger and August Eisenmenger. Between 1892 and 1894, he attended the School of Art with Caspar Ritter and Claus Meyer. He travelled a lot all over Italy, France, England and North America. In 1897 he married Charlotte Hampel (1863 – 1945), an Austrian painter. Between 1899 and 1909, he became a member of the Viennese Secession and, in 1905 - 1906, he became the president. In 1901, he realized the manifest for the tenth exhibition of the Viennese Secession. During these years he collaborated with the magazine Ver Sacrum. Between 1923 and 1929, he became the president of a Perfection School at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wien, where he teached until 1939. He was also the co-founder of the Austrian Werkbund, that was a movement that promoted handicraft. In 1939, he retired but during the same year he became a member of the Wiener Künstlerhaus. His name was inserted into the so-called “List of Gottbegnadeten” of Joseph Goebbels, as an important painter of the Third Reich. In 1950, Andri gave all his artworks to St. Pölten, that instituted the Ferdinand Andri Museum. Image Dimensions : 35.5 x 48.5 cm This artwork is shipped from Italy.
