Ferdinand Fellner (Frankfurt, 1799) was a German painter, illustrator and graphic artist. After receiving a high-class education he went to Munich to study art, and remained there from 1825 to 1831, but later on he established himself at Stuttgart and published a number of illustrations. As a painter his works are less meritorious. He died at Stuttgart in 1859. Some of the most remarkable of his designs for books are:

  • The illustrations of the The Seven Swabians.
  • Sixteen illustrations of Don Quixote.
  • The illustrations of Faust.
  • Five illustrations of Wilhelm Tell.
  • Illustrations of Wallenstein, The Maid of Orleans, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Burger's Lenore, Oberon, Robert, Gudrun, &c.

    • Among his paintings are the following:

  • Burgberg. Church. The Holy Family (partly painted by Pilgram).
  • Frankfort. Emperor's Saloon. Conrad I and Frederic the Beautiful.
