The Painting Lesson
after 1650
Johann Heinrich Schönfeld
In a studio that looks more like an idealised art gallery, the artist gives a lesson to a pupil – and to the viewer. The paintings on the walls, some identifiable, others imaginary, are arranged in accordance with the hierarchy of genres promoted in academies until the 19th century, with history paintings at the top.
