"Portrait of the Painter Franz Pforr" (c. 1810) is an oil painting by German artist Johann Friedrich Overbeck, a prominent member of the early 19th-century Nazarene movement. The portrait depicts Franz Pforr, Overbeck's friend and fellow artist, who was also a founding member of the Lukasbund, the group that later became known as the Nazarenes. This circle of artists sought to revive the spirituality and simplicity of medieval and early Renaissance art, rebelling against the prevailing academic standards of their time.

The painting is notable for its intimate portrayal of Pforr, reflecting the deep personal and artistic bond between the two artists. Overbeck's use of soft lighting and warm colors contributes to the serene and contemplative mood of the piece, characteristics that are emblematic of the Nazarene style. Pforr is depicted in a moment of quiet reflection, possibly alluding to the introspective nature of the Nazarene artists and their work.

Measuring approximately 61 x 47.5 cm, the portrait is a testament to the Nazarene movement's ideals, emphasizing spiritual depth and a return to the craftsmanship of the past. The artwork is a significant piece within Overbeck's oeuvre, as it not only captures the likeness of his colleague but also serves as a historical document of the artistic and philosophical kinship that defined the early Nazarene brotherhood.

Today, "Portrait of the Painter Franz Pforr" is held in the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. It remains an important work for the study of the Nazarene movement and 19th-century German Romanticism, offering insight into the personal relationships and artistic aspirations that shaped this period of art history.
