      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Self-Portrait 1905</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s" align="justify">Franz Stuck was a German Symbolist/Art Nouveau painter, sculptor, engraver, and architect. He is considered by some to be one of the artistic inspirations to German Fascism. Stuck was born at Tettenweis, in Bavaria. From an early age he displayed an affinity for drawing and caricature. To begin his artistic education in 1878 he went to Munich, where he would settle for life. From 1881 to 1885 Stuck attended the Munich Academy.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img width="auto" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/stuck/Stuck_Medusa.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Medusa</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He first made a name with cartoons for Fliegende Blätter, and vignette designs for programmes and book decoration. In 1889 he exhibited his first paintings at the Munich Glass Palace, winning a gold medal for The Guardian of Paradise.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img width="auto" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/stuck/Stuck_TheGuardianOfParadise.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Guardian of Paradise</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1892 Stuck co-founded the Munich Secession, and also executed his first sculpture, Athlete. The following year he won further acclaim with the critical and public success of what is now his most famous work, The Sin. Also in 1893, Stuck was awarded a gold medal for painting at the Chicago World’s Fair and was appointed to a royal professorship. In 1895 he began teaching painting at the Munich Academy.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/stuck/Stuck_TheSin1893.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Sin 1893</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1897 Stuck married an American widow, Mary Lindpainter, and began work designing his own residence and studio, the Villa Stuck. His designs for the villa included everything from layout to interior decorations; for his furniture Stuck received another gold medal at the 1900 Paris World Exposition.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img width="auto" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/stuck/Stuck_DyingAmazon.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dying Amazon</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Having attained a high degree of fame by this time, Stuck was elevated to the aristocracy on December 9, 1905 and would receive further public honors from around Europe during the remainder of his life. Even as new trends in art left Stuck behind, he continued to be highly respected among young artists in his capacity as professor at the Munich Academy. Notable students of his over the years include Paul Klee, Hans Purrmann, Wassily Kandinsky, and Josef Albers. Franz Stuck died in 1928; his funeral address memorialized him as “the last prince of art of Munich’s great days”. He is buried in the Munich Waldfriedhof next to his wife Mary.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img width="auto" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/stuck/Stuck_Sisyphus1920.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sisyphus 1920</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Stuck’s subject matter was primarily drawn from mythology, inspired by the work of Arnold Böcklin. Large, heavy forms dominate most of his paintings and point toward his proclivities for sculpture. His seductive female nudes, in the role of the femme fatale, are a prime example of popular Symbolist content. Stuck paid close attention to the frames for his paintings and generally designed them himself with such careful use of panels, gilt carving and inscriptions that the frames must be taken as an integral part of the overall piece.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Lucifer</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The number of Stuck’s pupils who went on to great success served to enhance the teacher’s own fame even further. Yet by the time of his death, Stuck’s importance as an artist in his own right had almost been forgotten: his art seemed old-fashioned and irrelevant to a generation shattered by the First World War. Adolf Hitler was among those who still admired the painters of nineteenth century Munich, and when the Nazis came to power Stuck was among the artists of the past cited as an example of proper Germanic values. But Stuck generally remained lost to public memory until the late 1960s when a renewed interest in Art Nouveau brought him to attention once more. In 1968 the Villa Stuck was opened to the public; today it is a museum.</p>
