  Amerling, Friedrich von (b Vienna, 14 April 1803; d Vienna, 14 Jan 1887). Austrian painter. He came from a family of craftsmen and studied (1815–24) at the Akademie der bildenden Künste, Vienna, where one of his teachers was the conservative history painter Hubert Maurer (1738–1818). From 1824 to 1826 he attended the Academy in Prague, where he was taught by Josef Bergler. In 1827 and 1828 Amerling stayed in London, and he met the portrait painter Sir Thomas Lawrence, whose work was to be a strong influence on Amerling’s painting during the next two decades. Amerling also travelled to Paris and Rome but was recalled to Vienna on an official commission to paint a life-size portrait of the emperor Francis I of Austria (Vienna, Ksthist. Mus.). With this work, Amerling became the most sought-after portrait painter in Vienna, a position he was to retain for about 15 years. http://www.artnet.com/library/00/0023/T002336.asp AMERLING, Friedrich von (1803, Vienna - 1887, Vienna) Amerling was one of the most distinguished representatives of Austrian portrait painting, but he was also a major painter of historic and genre pictures, and landscapes.
