Gustav Parthey

Gustav Friedrich Konstantin Parthey (27 October 1798 – 2 April 1872) was a German philologist and art historian.

Life

Born in Berlin, Parthey was the son of Daniel Friedrich Parthey [de] (1745–1822), Geheimrat in the General Finance Directorate in Berlin, and Wilhelmine Nicolai (-1803), the eldest daughter of Friedrich Nicolai. His sister, the diarist Lili (1800–1829), married the composer Bernhard Klein.

Parthey graduated from the Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster in Berlin. Later, he studied philosophy and archaeology in Berlin and Heidelberg, where he graduated in 1820. In the following years, he traveled through France, England, Italy, Greece and the Orient. In 1824, he married Wilhelmine Mitterbacher from Karlovy Vary. From 1825, he lived again in Berlin. Due to the privileged position of his family, he never knew about material worries.

Parthey was in charge of the Nicolaische Buchhandlung [de], and as a private scholar, he was engaged in art and cultural history studies. He published several works.

In 1857, he became a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. He died in Rome.
