1844 – 1900

German painter, draughtsman and etcher. In 1861 he abandoned his apprenticeship as a locksmith in order to train as a precision instrument maker, though a month or so later he decided to train as an artist, at first under the Cologne history painter and writer Hermann Becker (1817-1885). In 1863 he moved to Munich; he studied there from March 1864, at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, initially under Philipp von Foltz and Alexander Straehuber, drawing from plaster casts, and later in Hermann Anschütz's painting class.Show more
