Printz, Christian August
1819 Fredrikshald - 1867 Eidsberg.
Fighting roosters with hen and chicks.
Oil on canvas. Signed lower middle and dated 1858.
H 53,
Printz abandoned his original occupation as a merchant after a period of illness in favour of training as a painter. From 1845 onwards he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. He specialised in still lifes and animal motifs. In his depictions of poultry, his masterly way of painting is particularly convincing.
