For those visitors to Speyer who are looking for an edifying attraction that will entertain them as well as give them insight into Germany’s abundantly rich artistic tradition, they need look no further than the Feuerbachhaus Museum, which is everything they could ask for. Anselm Feuerbach, after whom the house and museum are named, was an incredibly skilled and famous painter of the Romantic style.
He is most famous for his huge number of paintings that lavishly depict, in incredible detail, various scenes from classical mythology. It was the subject that interested him the most, and he brings it to life like no artist since Homer. The house, where he lived and worked, still houses many of his original paintings and personal effects, which work together to tell the story of the life of this honored man. The museum offers guided tours as well as a fully featured wine bar.
