(Johann) Friedrich Voltz was born in 1817 in Nördlingen, Bavaria, the son of a painter and engraver. He received his first art lessons from his father, studied briefly at the Munich Art Academy in 1834/35 and from then was mainly self-taught. Under the influence of the equestrian painter Albrecht Adam he mainly painted alpine pasture animals and equestrian portraits until the 1840s, for which he studied the anatomy of different breeds of cattle and horses intensively. Through his artist friends Carl Spitzweg and Eduard Schleich he became acquainted with plein air painting and increasingly painted idyllic landscapes with animals, mostly in the surroundings of Lake Starnberg. In 1867 Friedrich Voltz received the Bavarian Order of Merit and the title of professor. He is considered the most important German animal painter of his time influenced by French and Dutch Realism in the 1860s and 1870s.
