Karl Krazeisen
28.10.1794 - 25.01.1878
Germany
Karl August Krazeisen was a German (Bavarian) officer and amateur artist of the first half of the 19th century. He is known as a graphic artist who depicted the heroes of the Greek War of Independence of 1821-1829.
Krazeisen, as a lieutenant in the Bavarian army, was sent to help the Greek rebels in 1826. In Greece, he used his artistic skills to create portraits of war heroes, sketches of camps, costumes, uniforms, and battle plans. After returning to Munich, he published his Greek album, which became an endorsement of the Philhellenic movement. Krazeisen earned the Order of the Savior from Greece for preserving images of war heroes in his work.
