Achenbach, Andreas
Nationality: German
Lifespan: (1815-1910)
ACHENBACH, ANDREAS, German landscape painter,
was born at Cassel in 1815. He began his art education in
1827 in Dusseldorf under W. Schadow and at the academy. In
his early work he followed the pseudo-idealism of the German
romantic school, but on removing to Munich in 1835, the
stronger influence of L. Gurlitt turned his talent into new
channels, and he became the founder of the German realistic
school. He is a master
of technique, and is historically important as a reformer. A
number of his finest works are to be found at the Berlin National
Gallery, the New Pinakothek in Munich, and the galleries at
Dresden, Darmstadt, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Leipzig and Hamburg.
