Anton von Werner-Archiv

The essentially German characteristics of Werner's genius add greatly to the interest attaching to the fact that he has made historically German subjects his own. The kind of intelligence with which he renders the scene he has witnessed or strongly imagined is Teutonic in its deliberateness, and yet full of the faculty of observation. He knows how to render, with fine watchfulness, the accidental actions and expressions which give to a scene from life all its vitality. Belonging to an intellectual nation, he lets his thoughtfulness inform his whole work, but he never permits it to take the place of that power of right seeing which is the painter's one chief force
