Brief Biography-Domenico Quaglio the Younger was born in Munich in 1787 into a large family of artists. He was the son of Giuseppe Quaglio, the stage designer, becoming an architectural painter in his time after receiving instruction from his father. Johann Mettenleiter and Carl Hess tutored him in engraving. Quaglio concentrated on painting architecture and landscapes, which he painted throughout Europe. The Crown Prince Maximilian II of Bavaria charged him with restoring Schloss Hohenschwangau, later the residence of King Ludwig II; Quaglio initiated the work in 1833. He died in Hohenschwangau in 1837, before the project’s completion. His renown is for engravings and lithographs of architectural monuments and buildings of the Middle Ages. |
