Life
The recorded working language is Czech. The field of work recorded is visual arts, painting and art of drawing. Places of work recorded in the authority are Bohemia. Work by Antonín Mánes is recorded in the collections of National Gallery Prague and Moravian Gallery in Brno.
Mánes was born and died in Prague, which was part of the Austrian Empire when he died. He was the son of a miller and was self-taught because his family could not afford to send him to art school. For a time, he earned some extra money working as a painter in a porcelain factory. It wasn't until 1806 that he was able to attend the Academy of Fine Arts, where he was heavily influenced by his teacher, Karel Postl. In 1836, he became a professor of landscape painting at the academy. Among his best-known students were Eduard Herold and Johann Kautsky. He eventually went from painting idealized landscapes to a more romanticized approach and was very fond of the Old Masters. His sons Josef and Quido and his daughter Amalie also became painters.
