German landscape painter; from 1867 he studied at the Düsseldorf Academy under Oswald Achenbach. Between 1870 and 1871 he took part in the Franco-Prussian War, which was temporarily reflected in his works. Later he took up mainly landscape painting - he made many study trips around Germany, and was also in Brussels and Paris. He lived permanently in Düsseldorf, where he still studied with Eugen Dücker. He was particularly fond of painting atmospheric winter and autumn landscapes. He traveled to Norway many times, painting views from the fjords. He exhibited from 1872, showing his works in Dresden, Hanover, Vienna, Düsseldorf, Bremen, among other places. Between 1872 and 1899, he also participated in exhibitions of the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin.
