FRANK DUVENECK, a native of Kentucky, born in Covington, Oct. 15, 1848, is
one of the rising young artists of the West.  He went abroad early, to the
best schools of Europe.  In 1870, his masterly treatment of his study head
quite distinguished him as the Munich Academy, where he carried off two of
the academy medals.  In 1872, he was awarded, for composition, the highest
price in the gift of that great academy.  The exquisite finish of his
portrait heads, with their broad luminous color, attracted marked
attention; and the Frankfort (Germany) Journal predicted a great future
for him - ranking him, in 1873, as one of the best of the younger artists
of Munich.
