Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach (21 February 1851 – 15 December 1913) was a German painter and social reformer.[1]
Diefenbach is regarded as the "forefather of alternative movements" and one of the most important champions of the Lebensreform (life-reform), the Freikörperkultur (naturism), and the peace movement. His rural commune Himmelhof, in Ober Sankt Veit near Vienna (1897–1899), was the model for the reform settlement Monte Verità near Ascona,[2] founded by his student Gustav Gräser, who is also known as the "Grail of Modernity." As a painter, Diefenbach was an independent representative of symbolism.[3]
