Opis: The Problem of Form in Painting and Sculpture (Classic Reprint) - Hildebrand Adolf

Excerpt from The Problem of Form in Painting and Sculpture

Bruno Hildebrand, was forced by the revolution of 1848 to seek in Switzerland freedom from political persecution. Having reached school age, the son attended the gymnasium of Bern, but did not show much enthusiasm for the abstract studies there offered to him. In 1861 his father was called to the University of Jena. The young man now showed such distinctive signs of artistic ability that he was sent by his father to Nuremberg, to take a course in the art school of that city.

At the end of 1867 he left Germany for a prolonged stay in Italy. The influence of the masterpieces of art accumulated in that country proved to be infinitely more beneficial to his artistic development than the school instruction which he had practically out-grown when he entered the art school. In Rome Hildebrand became acquainted with Hans von Marees, whose independence of thought encouraged the younger artist to follow his own bent. After staying in Rome a year and a half Hildebrand returned to Germany and busied himself for some time with sculpture in Berlin.
