Franz Von Stuck lived from 1863 to 1928. Von Stuck lived most of his life in Munich, Germany and attended the school of Plastic Arts and the Munich Academy there. He first made his living by illustrating for numerous magazines. Eventually around 1892 he became one of the founders of the Munich Sezession, and his symbolist period is also of this decade. Around 1895 he began teaching at the Munich academy that he once attended. Some of his pupils at the academy included Klee, Albers, and Kandinsky. Among Von Stuck's architectural creations is the Villa Stuck Prinzregentenstrasse, Munich which is now a museum.
