Signed F.X. Zettler Munich
The Zettler (F.X.) Studios in Munich Germany After training at Ludwig College and Art School, Franz Zayer Zettler (1841-1916) joined Franz Mayer & Co. in 1863 as art director. In 1870 he founded his own studio, the Institute of Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Windows. In 1873, under the patronage of King Ludwig II, the studio was renamed the Royal Bavarian Art Institute for Pictorial Painting on Glass. Zettler sold his windows to American clients through the Swiss firm Benziger Brothers during the 1800s and through the Daprato Statuary Company of Chicago and New York City after 1906. His two sons, Franz and Oskar, managed the studio after their father s death, with Oskar in charge of overseas operations. Oskar s son, Oscar Zettler, Jr., later took over the studio and in 1939 the Zettler company joined with the Mayer firm. Both Zettler and Mayer studios were known for their Munich Style windows that feature richly detailed settings and exquisitely painted figures. Ht: 112" Wd: 66.75"
