Portrait of Therese von Schenk, 1831
Johann Friedrich Ludwig Heinrich August Riedel (25 December 1799, Bayreuth - 6 August 1883, Rome)[1] was a German painter.
The son of architect Karl Christian Riedel, August Riedel attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, from 1820 on, where he proved to have an eye for color. He developed his sense of color further in Italy, where he moved in 1828.
