Adalbert Stifter (23 October 1805 – 28 January 1868) was an Austrian writer, poet, painter, and pedagogue. He was especially notable for the vivid natural landscapes depicted in his writing and has long been popular in the German-speaking world, while remaining almost entirely unknown to English readers. **Source**: [Adalbert Stifter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adalbert_Stifter) on Wikipedia.
