Sobre el cuadro
Carl Johann Lasch (1822-1888) was born in Leipzig. He was the pupil of Beudemann at the Academy in Dresden and of Schnorr and Kaultach in Munich. After travelling to Vienna, St Petersburg, Moscow and Paris, he settled in Munich in 1860, where he became a teacher.
This painting is a fine example of the history paintings produced by the Munich school, one the two main artistic centres in 19th-century Germany. The subject matter, the Count Eberhard II, Count of Württemberg (1315-92) cutting the table-cloth to show his anger with his son, was taken from a ballad by the poet Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862). The interest in ethnic origins and the medieval era is typical of the Romantic imagery that developed in Western Europe from the 1830s.
