 MAM - Collection - 19th Century Art - Carl Spitzweg
Carl Spitzweg is regarded as the master of small-scale genre painting, in which he was fond of depicting—with a fine, ambiguous sense of humor—anecdotal scenes of narrow-minded bourgeois life in the so-called “good old days.”
This work, one of Spitzweg’s most famous paintings, is a satire on lofty scholarly ambitions that inevitably fail in the absence of genuine ability.
As a pharmacist, Spitzweg certainly knew that in the 19th century mummies and crocodiles were used for curative powders and that mummy coffins and stuffed crocodile skins were often displayed in apothecary shops to awe and mystify patrons.
