In 1858 he returned to Frankfort, where he .soon at- tracted attention with a scries of pictures, thor- oughly realistic in euncc|>tion ami of great colur- istie charm, but scarcely understood by a public accustomed to the sentimental trend of (lie Diisseldorf school of that period. He therefore, in 1800. removed to Munich, where such revo- lutionary departures frum traditional treatment as the "Slcejiing Wood-Nymph" ( 1803), or "Hero and Leander." were more likely to be apjin'riatcd. Out of a cycle frum Sliakesjiearc. which lie painted there. "Ilainlct in the (Jraveyard" (1800) is surpassed only by the "Balcony Scene in Romeo and .luliet" (New Pinakothek. Mu- nich). To his inllui'nee as a eolorist was due not only the introduction of the tune-element into the paintings of the Munich school, but also the truer concept ion of historical characters and n more wholesome observation of nature among the younger generation of artists.
