|
German painter and printmaker.

After his return to Karlsruhe he became Professor of Painting and Engraving at the Akademie in 1817. He executed numerous etchings (e.g. Ponto Lupo in Tivoli, 1815), engravings and paintings from his drawings and watercolours of the Italian landscape, and many of these were published in such folios as Arriccia (1820), Tivoli (1822), Etna (1824) and Vesuv (1832). In them he adopted a classical style of landscape somewhat influenced by the work of Johann Christian Reinhart.
