Pforr, Franz

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists | 2003 | | Â© The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists 2003, originally published by Oxford University Press 2003. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Pforr, Franz (1788–1812). German painter. He was one of the founders of the Nazarenes and moved to Rome with other members of the group in 1810. Two years later he died of tuberculosis. His work evokes a fairy-tale type of medievalism, with bright colours and picturesque details. It is best represented in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut of his native Frankfurt.
