Ferdinand Leeke
Ferdinand Leeke (April 7, 1859 - 1923) was a German Painter, famous for his depictions of scenes from Wagnerian Operas.[1] A native of Burg bei Magdeburg, Germany, he studied at the Munich Academy under Ludwig von Herterich (1843-1905) and Sándor Liezen-Mayer, a genre and historical painter, and with Alexander von Wagner (1838-1919), a Hungarian genre and landscape painter.[2]
Around 1889, Siegfried Wagner, the son of the composer Richard Wagner, commissioned Leeke to paint a series of paintings showing scenes from ten operas by Wagner.[3]
