Biography
Biography
But he was wanting in poetic fancy, and did not succeed in any remarkable manner in oil painting. He died in Erlenbad in 1829. He left a large number of drawings in crayons and sepia, many of them copies, but all admirable for the taste and finish displayed in their execution. He was for many years director of all the collections of paintings and engravings of the Grand Duke of Baden. • Illustration — Johann Peter Hebel
