Short Description
"Alexander Strähuber or (Straehuber), (1814 – 1882) was an Austrian-born German history painter and book illustrator. From 1865 to 1882 he was a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.

Strähuber was born on 28 February 1814 at Mondsee in Upper Austria. He was son to Alexander Strähuber, a stable master to the Wrede barony of Bavaria.

At the age of seven he moved to Munich with his parents and attended grammar school. After showing a talent for drawing, he transferred to the Munich Polytechnic School (Polytechnische Schule München), founded in 1828, where he received drawing lessons from Joseph Anton Rhomberg and Hermann Mitterer. In 1829 he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, becoming a student of the history and biblical subject painters Heinrich Hess and Clemens von Zimmermann, and the Nazarene Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. Von Carolsfeld entrusted Strähuber with individual commissions for painting in the royal palace of the Munich Residenz." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
