Carl Morgenstern

Carl Morgenstern was a German landscape painter of the Romantic period. His father, Johann Friedrich Morgenstern, was an architectural and landscape painter, and Carl received painting and drawing lessons from him at a young age. 

At the age of 21 Carl went to Munich and became a pupil of the landscape painter Carl Rottmann. After a three-year stay in Italy, he returned to Frankfurt am Main, where he established himself as an artist and was later appointed professor.

His paintings from the early period mainly show landscapes, which surprise with special light effects and earned him the nickname "Italianist". Despite his desire for artistic innovation, he later devoted himself mainly to repeating popular motifs in order to satisfy his patrons.

Some of his most important works are views of Frankfurt am Main and the city's surroundings, as well as landscapes from the Taunus and along the Rhine.
