AMERLING, FRIEDRICH,
born in Vienna, April
14, 1803. Portrait and figure

months, and in Paris under

given him at Vienna for two
historical paintings enabled
him, in 1831, to go to Venice
and Rome. After his return
he entered on a successful
career as a portrait painter,
under the patronage of
the Imperial family. In
1841-44 he resided at Rome
and Florence. Works: Archduke Rudolph,
