| | Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow |
 | | Schadow did not at first take up the ideal fresco, as did the masters at Munich, but devoted himself to oil-painting; nor did he attempt great historical subjects, but the more modest forms of art. |
 | | Schadow held fast to the principle of the Romantic school, that more weight should be placed upon the conception than the form. |
 | | It should, however, be remarked that Schadow, notwithstanding his study from nature, never fully overcame the weakness of the Romantic school, and although he was three times in Italy, where he studied the masters, he exhibited less original force than a graceful talent. |
