Biography
He studied first at the Dresden Academy of Arts, and then worked in Nuremberg and Berlin, in 1830-1834 he studied again in Munich, in the workshop of Amsler. Weimar worked from 1841 to 1843, from Dresden from 1843 to 1849, where he taught painting at the academy from 1846. In 1849, he received the position of professor of engraving at the Munich Academy, which he held almost until the end of his life (abandoning it in 1868 and heading the art gallery).
The engravings of this artist, apparently taking Marcantonio Raimondi as his model, are for the most part executed with moderate hatching in imitation of cardboards; they are distinguished by great conscientiousness of work and faithful transfer of originals. The main of these engravings are “The Battle of the Huns” and “The Babel Babel” from Kaulbach , “Hrimgild and the corpse of Siegfried” from Schnorr , “The Carrier Charon” and “Parks” from Carstens , “Feats of Mercy of St. Elizabeth, the Queen of Hungary ”with M. von Schwind , illustrations for psalms from G. König, reproduction of Cornelius paintings in Campo Santo,“ Sermon of the Apostle Peter ”with Raphael and others.
