(present location unknown), at the Düsseldorf Academy under the tutelage of Wilhelm
Schadow (1788–1862). He spent the next several years executing decorative projects
in Düsseldorf, including Cain and Abel for the Palace of Justice and
a series of frescoes for the Royal Secondary School. He also painted murals for
numerous churches, including the Church of Saint Joseph in Dresden, where he settled
in 1879.
