Franz Von Stuck

Franz Von Stuck (1863 - 1928) was a Bavarian symbolist/Art Nouveau painter and sculptor. Von Stuck had early success as an artist winning a gold medal for “The Guardian of Paradise” in 1889 at the age of 23. By 1895 he was a professor at the Munich Academy. Although Von Stuck’s popularity wained after World War I he has made a return since the revival of Art Nouveau in the 1960’s.
