Ramboux, Johann Anton
(b Trier, 5 Oct 1790; d Cologne, 2 Oct 1866). German painter, draughtsman and museum curator. He was taught drawing by Jean-Henri Gilson (1741–1809), before he went to Paris for further training in the studio of Jacques-Louis David. In 1812 he returned to Trier, painting portraits until 1815, when he spent a year at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. In 1816 he went to Rome, where he was part of the Nazarene circle without becoming a member of the Lukasbrüder. Close association with these artists, notably Peter Cornelius, Carl Philipp Fohr and Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, had a more lasting influence on Ramboux’s artistic development than his earlier studies with David, whose classical concepts he gradually abandoned.
