Landscape painter, pupil of the Karlschule, Stuttgart; went in 1791 to Strasburg, and in 1793 to Basle; in 1795 travelled on foot to Naples, where he studied from nature, and in the spring following went to Rome, where he was closely allied with Carstens and Wächter, who greatly influenced his artistic development.
