Norbert Grund  (1717-1767)

• Was a Bohemian painter who worked in the Rococo style.
• Grund was born in Prague.
• He was trained by his father, Christian Grund, who worked as a court painter in Kolovrat.
• In 1737, Grund completed his apprenticeship and subsequently traveled to Vienna and Venice.
• Grund returned to Prague in 1751, and in 1753 he joined the painters' guild of Malá Strana.
• His works were influenced by concern for the welfare of his extended family.
• Therefore, he typically painted smaller formats and more marketable subjects.
• The basis of his works were small cabinet pictures, often genre works, but also landscapes and biblical themed works.
