Louis Frederic Schutzenberger (1825-1903)
[Louis F. Schutzenberger, L.F. Schutzenberger]
Louis Frederick Schutzenberger was born in Strasburg, while Alsace was a French province, so
he ranks as a French painter. He was a pupil of Daguerre, and is an energetic draughtsman
and good colorist, with much original of ideas and execution. His pictures have gained for
him admission into the Legion of Honor. "The Drowsy Bacchante" gives an excellent idea of
his able and vigorous treatment of the human figure, and his command of his material. The
figure is a masterly study of form, attitude and expression, and the original painting is
a superb piece of color.
