Life and work
Life and work
His first art lessons were in Berlin, with August von Kloeber. From 1847 to 1848, he worked with Carl Eggers, creating frescoes designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, in the hallway at the Altes Museum. Later, he was a professor at the Royal School of Art. He was especially successful as a painter of genre scenes, from the lives of the rural farmers; with a preference for naïve, youthful characters. Many of his works were made into lithographs (and other prints) by himself and others, and issued in folio formats. These became widely popular. One of these prints, a wood-engraving by Richard Brend'amour (1831–1915), was published in the British newspaper Illustrated London News in 1882. His works include a large altarpiece at the Gutskirche Melkof (1869). Schützenstraße in Hamburg is named after him.
