Karl Eduard Biermann

Karl Eduard Biermann ( born July 26, 1803 in Berlin, † June 16, 1892 in Berlin) was a German painter.

Life

Eduard Biermann came from a family of artisans. After an apprenticeship at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin he studied then at the Berlin Academy and decorative landscape painting among others by Johann Gerst and Karl Wilhelm Gropius. Initially he worked as a porcelain and decorative painter, but then turned exclusively to landscape painting. He is regarded as one of the first representatives of the landscape watercolor painting in Berlin.

Study trips led him in the late 1820s to the Rhine, in Switzerland, Tyrol and Italy. The impressions gained there were reflected in his works. From 1842 he taught landscape drawing at the Berlin Building Academy and in 1844 appointed professor. One of his pupils was Hermann Gemmel. From 1847 Biermann participated in the painting of the Egyptian court and the Greek Hall in the Neues Museum in Berlin.

Karl Eduard Biermann died on 16 June 1892 in Berlin.
