Gustav Kraus

Gustav Kraus, also known as Gustav Friedrich or Gustav Wilhelm, was a Bavarian painter and lithographer.

He studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and was admitted as a member of the Munich Art Society, and is considered a representative of the Biedermeier. In 1836 he founded his own lithographic publishing house. In his landscape works, Kraus combined topographical precision with artistic quality.

His urban and architectural vedute, depictions of historical events, including maneuvers, parades, processions, inauguration ceremonies, portraits of noble contemporaries, sketches of costumes and uniforms were published by many publishing houses. One of the most valuable of Kraus's works today is the depiction of the Oktoberfest procession of 1835 with 24 colorful lithographs.
