Popular Swiss Romantic painter of historical themes
Ernst Stückelberg was a Swiss painter native to Basel, born to a family that traced its connection to the city back to the 14th century. He died of complications of diabetes. He was one of the most popular artists of his generation, of the romantic tradition, producing many paintings of various themes (portraits, country and village scenes, and allusions to history), including a series on the Swiss national hero William Tell. He formally took the name Stückelberg in 1881; this was duly registered by the Basel authorities.
