Carl Ebert was a German landscape painter. He studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart under Gottlob Friedrich Steinkopf and Johann Friedrich Dieterich. In 1846 he moved to Munich, where he became a private pupil of Eduard Schleich, and often visited the Alte Pinakothek to study the works of the Old Masters.

Together with Friedrich Salzer and Richard Zimmermann, he visited the artists' colonies of Polling and Eberfing. Subsequently he devoted himself entirely to landscape painting, particularly forest scenes. He also visited the Exposition Universelle (1855), where he was first influenced by the Barbizon school. Later he accompanied Schleich and Carl Morgenstern on study trips to France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

He also travelled to Italy in 1857 and 1872 and spent several months in Bosnia in 1881. He received a state pension from King Ludwig II of Bavaria and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Crown by King Karl I of Württemberg.

Carl Ebert was born in 1821 in Stuttgart.

Ebert's relatives enabled him to study at the Königliche Kunstschule Stuttgart with Gottlob Friedrich Steinkopf and Johann Friedrich Dieterich. In 1846 he moved to Munich, where he became a private student of Eduard Schleich the Elder and often visited the Munich Pinakothek to study works by Dutch masters. Ebert also visited the painters' colonies Polling and Eberfing with Friedrich Salzer and Richard Zimmermann.

After his time visiting the painters' colonies, Carl Ebert devoted himself exclusively to landscape painting, especially forest landscapes.
