  PETER VON CORNELIUS - LoveToKnow Article on PETER VON CORNELIUS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
At Rome Cornelius participated, with other members of his fraternity, in the decoration of the Casa Bartoldi and the Villa Massimi, and whqe thus employed he was also engaged upon designs for the illustration of the Nibelungenlied.
Cornelius, however, soon found that attention to such widely separated duties was incompatible with the just performance of either, and most inconven.ient to himself; eventually, therefore, he resigned his post at Dsseldorf to throw himself completely and thoroughly into those works for which he had been commissioned by the crown-prince.
Cornelius, in his teaching, always inculcated a close and rigorous study of nature, but he understood by the study of nature something more titan what is ordinarily implied by that expression, something more than constantly making studies from life; he meant the study of nature with an inquiring and scientific spirit.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Peter Cornelius
Cornelius allowed great liberty to his unequally gifted pupils; still much of the work, especially what he painted himself, is excellently carried out, as: "The Fall of Troy", "The Judges of the Lower World", "Eros with an Eagle", and "Eros with Cerberus".
It must be acknowledged that Cornelius was not strong in colour, although his frescoes from the life of Joseph in the Villa Bartholdy are in all particulars satisfactory.
The cartoons for the royal mausoleum, of which the one for the north wall was on the scale of the intended fresco, met fairly undisputed approval.

Many centuries later, Protestant reformers took up the same idea, arguing that naturalistic art is irreligious—that the beautiful, illusionistic naked bodies of Greek sculpture are forms of sacrilege, that they elevate the human body to the status of a god.
As Peter von Cornelius said, the art of the academy “has drunk too deeply from the chalice of the Babylonian whore”.
Julius von Schlosser, Gombrich's dissertation advisor, and Hans Sedlmayr, the art historian who turned with great fervor to Nazism, held similarly broad views of history and artistic expression.

The formation of highly personal and/or influential images of German art in the work of writers such as Charles Baudelaire and Joris Karl Huysmans was the subject of further essays by Hendrik Ziegler and Christian Heck.
Genre painting, for example, was not held to the same standard and therefore found greater praise in his eyes.

He was joined by a goodly company, including Peter von Cornelius, Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow and Philipp Veit, who took up their abode in the old Franciscan convent of San Isidoro and became known among friends and enemies by the descriptive epithet the Nazarenes, the German-Roman artists, the church-romantic painters, the German patriotic and religious painters.
Their precept was hard and honest work and holy living; they eschewed the antique as pagan, the Renaissance as false, and built up a severe revival on simple nature and on the serious art of Perugino, Pinturicchio, Francia and the young Raphael.
The leisure thus gained was devoted to a thoroughly congenial theme, the Vision of St Francis, a wall-painting 20 ft. long, figures life size, finished in 1830, for the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli near Assisi.
