Emil Volkers

Emil Volkers (1831 - 1905) was active/lived in Germany.  Emil Volkers is known for Horse paintings.

Emil Volkers was a famous 19th century German portraitist. After attending the Dresden Academy of Art, he developed a unique style, receiving numerous orders from the international aristocracy.

He became 'court painter' of Prince Charles of Romania and was commissioned by William I to paint him on horseback. His paintings were highly appreciated among European rulers. His specialty was the equestrian portraits that he managed to achieve with great skill as he knew perfectly the anatomy and characteristics of the animal.

The Battle of Sedan, which took place between August 31st and September 2nd 1870, and which ended the first phase of the Franco-Prussian war, brought about the fall of the second French Empire. The artist's attention is always focused on horses that move within the landscape with power and vigor.   ...  [Displaying 839 of 1005 characters.]  Artist bio
