Carl Spitzweg (1808-1885)The Poor PoetOil on canvas1837Private collection
___
Spitzweg depicts a writer living out the familiar image of the starving artist in wretched conditions in a small room in an attic. The painting contains many significant images. The Poor Poet, with his rimmed glasses, top hat, walking stick, umbrella, and cravat has become a symbol for an era – the Biedermeier period (1815-1848) which centered on the private life and is marked by the growing urbanization and industrialization leading to a rising middle class. This new audience wanted to experience a more simple and realistic art than that of the then-popular but rather fussy Romantic style.

Newell Convers Wyeth, having spent summers with his family in Port Clyde, Maine for eighteen years, was well acquainted with the elements of the landscape and the people of Maine that make it unique. Wyeth also had a deep interest in American history, reading voraciously and collecting historical uniforms and costumes to use in his illustrations to ensure accurate details.
