内容简介 鲁道夫•陶普福尔（1799年1月31日 - 1846年6月8日）是一家瑞士作家，画家，漫画家和插图画家。他最出名的是他的插图的书，它可以被看作是欧洲最早的漫画。鲁道夫•陶普福尔出生于日内瓦，他以一系列在瑞士山区游历漫步的插图故事非常出名。他的插图风格类似于英国的大师罗兰森（Rowlandson）和霍加斯（Hogarth），他的代表作包括《山间崎岖路游记》（Zigzag trips or excursions of a boarding holiday in the Swiss cantons and on the Italian side of the Alps）等。 鲁道夫•陶普福尔的本职工作为日内瓦大学教授，绘画和雕版不过是他的业余爱好。有意思的是他的漫画喜剧作品最初并不打算出版，只是在业余时间自己刻印出来用来送给朋友赏玩。他一个著名的朋友--就是德国大文豪约翰•沃尔夫冈•冯•歌德，也正是歌德在1831年说服陶普福尔出版他的插图故事。最终这些杰作陆续被出版，但遗憾的是歌德不能活着看到这些杰作的出版。 后来鲁道夫•陶普福尔被认为是是现代漫画的鼻祖，至今他的塑像仍然屹立在日内瓦街头。（瑞士的艺术家Rudolphe Töpffer是现代漫画的鼻祖: 他以图文并茂的方式描绘一个个完整的故事) Töpffer Rudolph (1799-1846), Swiss author and illustrator, citizen of Geneva, signals the reading public by the publications of some novels and short stories, and especially by the stories of his walks in the Swiss mountains. He illustrates his texts himself in a similar style of English Rowlandson and Hogarth, including trips zizag First (1844) and New zigzag travel. But Töpffer is probably the survival of its name to the other part of his work, meant less serious, and that i called his stories prints, comics before the letter.
维基百科： Rodolphe Töpffer (31 January 1799 – 8 June 1846) was a Swiss teacher, author, painter, cartoonist, and caricaturist. He is best known for his illustrated books, which can be seen as the earliest European comics.
Paris-educated, Töpffer worked as a schoolteacher and ran a boarding school, where he entertained students with his caricatures. In 1837, he published Histoire de M. Vieux Bois (published in the United States in 1842 as The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck). Each page of the book had one to six captioned cartoon panels, much like modern comics. Töpffer published several more of these books, and wrote theoretical essays on the form.
Töpffer Monument in Geneva Töpffer was born in Geneva in 1799[1] to painter and occasional caricaturist Adam-Wolfgang Töpffer r (20 May 1766 – 10 August 1847). The elder Töpffer served from 1804 to 1807 as "Drawing Master" of Joséphine, Empress-consort of the First French Empire. Rodolphe was educated in Paris from 1819 to 1820, then returned to Geneva and became a school teacher. By 1823 he established his own boarding school for boys. In 1832 he was appointed Professor of Literature at the University of Geneva.
Relatively successful in his profession, Rodolphe gained fame from activities he pursued in his spare time. He painted local landscapes in a style considered influenced by contemporary Romanticism. He wrote short stories and entertained his students by drawing caricatures. He collected these caricatures in books; the first of them, Histoire de M. Vieux Bois ("The Story of Mr. Wooden Head"), was completed by 1827 but not published until 1837. It was 30 pages, each containing one to six captioned panels. It was translated and republished in the United States in 1842 as The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck. The stories were reproduced by autography, a variation of lithography that allowed him to draw on specially prepared paper with a pen. The process allowed for a loose line, and was quicker and freer than the more common engraving process.
The comedic story was not originally intended for publication but Rodolphe continued to create others in his spare time to entertain his acquaintances. Notable among them was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who in 1831 persuaded Rudolphe to publish his stories. Seven of them were eventually published in newspaper form across Europe but Goethe would not live to see them.
