Friedrich Dürck
(1809 - 1884)
 
Friedrich Dürck was a German portrait and genre painter.
His uncle was the royal Bavarian court painter Joseph Stieler.
In 1828 (at 19 years old) he exhibited a portrait in public for the first time and soon became a well-known painter in Munich. He traveled to Italy in 1836 and stayed in Rome and Florence until 1837. After his return he lived in Munich and portrayed numerous personalities from public life and the Bavarian court, including King Ludwig I in 1858. In 1849 he accepted an invitation to the Swedish court and in 1854 to the Austrian court. After 1860 he painted mainly genre and costume paintings.
