Who was Johannes Veit?

Jonas Veit was a German history painter. His parents were Jewish but he took little interest in Judaism and converted to Catholicism on 26 July 1810 - he is thus better known by his baptismal name of Johannes Veit. From 1811 to his death he lived and worked in Rome, joining the Nazarene movement and becoming particularly close friends with Friedrich Overbeck. His brother Philipp Veit was also a painter.
