Moritz Von Schwind ~ Austrian Painter (1804) was an Austrian painter, born in Vienna. Schwind's genius was lyrical—he drew inspiration from chivalry, folklore, and the songs of the people. Schwind died in Pöcking in Bavaria. He received rudimentary training and spent a happy and carefree youth in Vienna. Among his companions was the composer Schubert, some of whose songs he illustrated. In Munich he also worked on some churches, particularly the altar and windows of the Church of Our Lady.
