Robert Assmus is a German landscape artist and illustrator. He took lessons from the floral artist Friedrich Wilhelm Völker. He devoted himself entirely to landscape painting, earning a living by illustrating for the newspapers Illustrirte Zeitung, Die Gartenlaube, Daheim magazine and other publications. After the end of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, he undertook study trips to northern Italy, the Carpathians, Hungary, the Baltic Sea and Switzerland. Inspired by what he saw, he published a magnificent illustrated work, the album “Alsace-Lorraine,” which received positive reviews from the public.
