Biography
Funk was born in Herford, Westphalia. He was a pupil of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer at the Düsseldorf Academy. In 1836 he settled in Frankfurt am Main, and from 1854 to 1876 was professor at the Royal School of Art in Stuttgart.[1]
Works
Funk was gifted with keen observation, a fine sense of beauty of form and line, and his pictures are notable for perfect drawing, minute execution, and poetic conception, often combined with splendid light effects. As well as his paintings, he also left more than five hundred charcoal and pencil drawings of sterling quality.[1]
