Anton Ebert
1845–1896 · painter trained under Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller
Anton Ebert (1845-1896) was a painter who trained under Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, one of the most prominent masters of painting in the German-speaking world of his time. The surviving information about his life and work is limited, so his career can only be reconstructed in broad outline.
His name is linked to Waldmüller's teaching, a practice built on close observation from nature in both genre scenes and portraiture. Reliable details about his working periods, his principal works and his exhibitions are not available, and any further specifics would lack solid support.
His legacy is hard to define precisely. As a discreet figure in the history of painting, his main interest today lies in what he shows about how the craft was passed on in the studios of the mid-nineteenth century.
