Gabriel Cornelius Ritter von Max(ennobled in 1900; 23 August 1840 – 24 November 1915) was aPrague-bornAustrianpainter.

He was bornGabriel Cornelius Max, the son of the sculptorJoseph Maxand Anna Schumann. He studied between 1855 and 1858 at the Prague Academy of Arts withEduard von Engerth. His studies Asiatic philosophy, the ideas ofSchopenhauer, and various mystical traditions. The spiritual-mystical movement was emphasized by the writings ofCarl du Prel, and theMunichpainterAlbert Kellerwas also an influence.

His first large canvas was painted in 1858 while he was a student at the Prague Academy. He continued his studies at the Viennese Academy of Art withKarl von Blaas,Karl Mayer,Christian RubenandCarl Wurzinger. From 1863 to 1867 he studied at the Munich Academy withKarl Theodor von Piloty, and alsoHans MakartandFranz Defregger. His first critical success was in 1867 with the painting \"Martyr at the Cross\": that painting transformed the \"Unglücksmalerei\" (dark palette) of Piloty into a religious-mystical symbolism using a psychological rendering of its subject.

He continued to use the dark palette of thePilotyschool well into the 1870s, later moving toward a more muted palette, using fewer,clearer colors. From 1869, Gabriel von Max had his studio in Munich; in the summer, he was in the Ammerland at Starnberger Lake. From 1879-1883, Gabriel Max was a professor of Historical Painting at the Munich Academy; he also became a Fellow ofThe Theosophical Society. In 1900 he was ennobled and became aRitter. He died in Munich in 1915.
