Date: 19th century Description: The parable of the lost sheep is found in Luke 15:4-7 and in Matthew 18:12-13, in which Jesus describes the efforts of a shepherd to find a lost sheep and his joy when he found it again. Edward von Steinle was a 19th century Austrian painter, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and stayed in Rome from 1828 to 1834, where he kept company with Friedrich Overbeck and Philipp Veit; in 1850 he became the first professor at the Städel Institute. He made numerous mostly religious easel paintings but also portraits and romantic genre paintings; a large number of drawings and watercolours, most of them with a romantic touch, which he had acquired through his contact with Clemens Brentano; in 1839 he moved to Frankfurt am Main and joined the Nazarene circle around Veit. Steinle is one of the leading representatives of Catholic church art after the middle of the 19th century.
