Natur und Idylle – Die Künstlerkolonie Kronberg

Kronberg, one of the most important German artists’ colonies, is located near Frankfurt am Main. Its founder is the painter Anton Burger (1824-1905), who settled there in 1858. Other famous painters who visited the small Taunus town were Hans Thoma, Wilhelm Trübner and Carl Morgenstern. When the art-loving Empress Victoria of Prussia moved into her widow’s residence there, the romantic seclusion was over. With the rise of Impressionism and after Burger’s death in 1905, the artists’ colony gradually dissolved.
