Summary "A. von Menzel" by H. Knackfuß is a biographical account focused on the life and works of the notable German artist Adolph von Menzel, written in the late 19th century. The book presents an overview of Menzel's significant contributions to art, particularly his portrayal of historical events and figures of the 19th century, most notably his illustrations related to Frederick the Great. The opening of this work sets the stage by providing an introduction to Menzel as a prominent figure in German art during his time and outlines the circumstances surrounding his upbringing and early career. It discusses his initial artistic endeavors and the challenges he faced following the death of his father, emphasizing his passion for art despite being directed towards a scholarly profession. Early on, readers learn about Menzel's meticulousness and dedication to his craft, which led to notable works in lithography and illustrations that would eventually establish him as a critical artist of his era, before diving deeper into his illustrious career and his major projects related to Frederick the Great.
