Kreling and he was influenced by the landscapes of Rottmann. In 1841 he returned to Hanover. He worked almost exclusively as a landscape painter. Apart from painting he was also interested in poetry, music and other forms of art. Much of his work can be found at the Niedersächsische Landesgalerie in Hanover. |
