Franz Caucigとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Franz Caucig, an Austrian historical painter, was born at Gorz in 1762. He studied the first principles of art at Vienna, and went, aided by a grant, in 1781, to Bologna and to Rome, where he spent seven years. In 1791, he was enabled in the same way to visit Mantua, and to reside for upwards of five years at Venice. He returned to Vienna in 1797, and in 1799 became professor of historical painting at the Vienna Academy, and, in 1820, Director of the School of Art, which office he held until his death. Specimens of his paintings, which were numerous, may be seen at Prague, and in the Belvedere and other galleries at Vienna. He was clever as a draughtsman, and has left us upwards of 2000 historical designs. His colouring, however, was feeble and indifferent. He died at Vienna in 1828.
