Peter von Hess

Peter von Hess was a Bavarian painter of the 19th century. He is known as a court battle-painter and master of historical painting.

Peter von Hess took part in the military campaign of 1813-1814 against Napoleon and after a tour of Vienna, Switzerland and Italy founded his workshop in Munich. At first he depicted small scenes from the life of soldiers, and then he moved on to creating large battlefield paintings. In 1839, the artist visited Russia to create a series of paintings of the main battles of 1812 commissioned by Emperor Nicholas I.

Hess's works are notable for their vivid composition, fine characterization of figures and drama.
