Franz von Stuck is one of the most celebrated German Symbolist painters and draftsmen. As the co-founder of the Munich Secession (1892) he played a central role in German avant-garde circles.

Stuck’s works are emblematic of this period, but he also lived during the Weimar Republic and his influence extended to the modernist generation who he taught at the Munich Akademie, including Paul Klee (1879–1940), Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) and Josef Albers (1888-1976). His many creations have steadily been regaining critical attention and in 2013 Seattle’s Frye Art Museum presented the first monographic exhibition of Stuck’s work in the United States.
