Fritz Zuber-Buhler built his reputation on quiet, closely observed figures with titles as unhurried as The Lesson and Reverie, and that stillness is part of why his work suits counted cross stitch so well.
He was Swiss, born in 1822 at Le Locle and died in 1896, and he worked in the style of Academic Classicism at a time when that training was the surest route a young painter had. His first teacher was Louis-Aimé Grosclaude at home; later he studied under François-Édouard Picot, and the discipline of that schooling stayed with him. Thomas Couture left a mark on him too. What he is remembered for now is the gentler end of academic painting rather than its grand set pieces.
Zuber-Buhler was also influenced by William Adolphe Bouguereau and Paul Delaroche.
