Attended classes at the düsseldorf Academy, were perfected later in Paris and Italy. Made in the years 1870-1871 a trip to Spain, Portugal and the Northern coast of Africa, and in 1873-1874 years traveled to the East, and everywhere making sketches. The works of this artist, especially the paintings of the Arab and Moorish buildings, differ a great variety of points of view, a well seasoned perspective, correct lighting and colors; their interest, in most cases, it increases the scenic successfully conceived and well-written pieces.
