Alexander von Humboldt
Alexander von Humboldt c1843 by German Painter Eòsaph Karl Stieler (1781 – 1858); na pheantair Dealbhan Neoclassical a bha ag obair mar pheantair cùirt rìoghail dha na Bavarian Kings agus a tha ainmeil airson Gailearaidh nam Bòidhchead aig Lùchairt Nymphenburg ann am Munich a bharrachd air an dealbh aige de Ludwig van Beethoven, a rinn e 1820.
This is a magnificent portrait of Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt (1769 – 1859) a Prussian polymath (a person who’s knowledge spans a significant number of subjects), geographer, naturalist, rannsachair, and proponent of Romantic philosophy and science.
His quantitative work on Botanical Geography laid the foundation for the field of Biogeography; and his approach and advocacy for long term Systematic Geophysical measurement became the foundation on which modern Geomagnetic and Meterological monitoring is based.

Rugadh Iòsaph ann am baile-mòr Mainz, A’ Ghearmailt do theaghlach de ghràbhalairean a bha air a bhith stèidhichte o chionn fhada, luchd-gearraidh agus luchd-bàis; a’ faighinn beagan trèanaidh ealanta bho athair, Lùnastal Friedrich Stieler (1736 – 1789).
Às deidh bàs athar gun choimeas, Chuir Iòsaph Karl crìoch air a phreantasachd gu fèin-obrachail agus thòisich e na dhreuchd mar pheantair mion-dhealbhan, a bha barrachd is barrachd a’ sireadh leis na cearcallan bourgeois.
Às deidh dha Mainz a bhith air a ghabhail thairis le saighdearan ar-a-mach Frangach ann an 1792, Lean Stieler cùirt a’ Phrionnsa-Easbaig Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal gu Aschaffenburg.
An seo choinnich e ris an Àrd-easbaig Karl Theodor Anton Maria von Dalberg, a thàinig gu bhith na neach-taic agus neach-taic as cudromaiche dha.
Bho 1802 gu 1805 chaidh e gu Acadamaidh Fine Arts Vienna ann am prìomh chlas Heinrich Füger. Chaidh stoidhle dhealbhan Stieler a chumadh gu sònraichte rè na h-obrach aige ann an atelier Parisianach François Gérard, oileanach aig Jacques-Louis David.
