Gustav Rienäcker is an artist born in Germany in 1861 and deceased in 1935. From the end of the 19th century painters based in Munich preferred to depict female nudes or oriental beauties and erotic motifs such as "Salome"; at the same time Gustav Rienacker worked as a sought-after portrait painter for several royal houses, including the Emperor's daughter Viktoria Luise of Prussia and her husband Ernst August Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg. Rienäcker taught at the Munich Academy and was represented several times in the Glaspalast from 1904 to 1929. More on Gustav Rienacker
