Wilhelm Bendz - Artists in Finck's Coffee-house in Munich [1832]
“In the foreground I had a number of painters with whom I consorted daily, and I attempted to reproduce the life ruling there, and to portray each as typically as possible. In general, we sang four-part songs, and drinking beer played an important part, as you well know is the case everywhere in Bavaria; in the background we can see into two other rooms, and I tried to paint that in the light of candles, which faced me with many difficulties when it came to creating portraits.”
