Adolf Heinrich Lier
Adolf Heinrich Lier (21 May 1826, Herrnhut - 30 September 1882, Vahrn) was a German landscape painter. Life and work He was the son of a goldsmith from Mecklenburg. At the age of fifteen (after a problematic youth that included three years in a reformatory) he expressed a desire to be a painter but his father opposed the idea, sending him instead to the construction tradeschools in Zittau and Dresden to study draftsmanship. He was able to gain a short-term position in the studios of Gottfried Semper while he was in Dresden. In 1848, he received a commission to help prepare designs for a museum ceiling in Basel, under the direction of Melchior Berri. This type of work proved to be unsatisfying, however, and he was encouraged to go to Munich for further studies. After failing to obtain a position in the studios of Joseph Karl Stieler, he encountered Richard Zimmermann, who he knew from Zittau, and became his pupil. He decided to specialize in landscape painting and held his f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
