a German painter. Not much is known about his life. He was born at Winnweiler, in the Palatinate, studied first at the Academy at Munich, and afterwards under Berdellé. He visited Vienna, and painted there under Rahl; then went to Venice, Florence, and Calabria, where he studied the old masters. He died at St. Gall, Switzerland. His style much resembles that of the Venetian painters.
