About Hermann Eschke

  • Biography from Galerie Bassenge, Berlin

    Hermann Eschke was born in 1823. He studied at the Berlin Academy before taking numerous study trips to Normandy, Brittany, the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean from 1850, where he found the motifs that he later realized in his Berlin studio.

    Eschke's painting, which relied on dramatic effects, was very popular with his contemporaries and brought him many students, some of whom became important painters themselves, including: Louis Douzette, Moritz Erdmann, Walter Moras, Carl Saltzmann, Alexander Kircher, Fritz Sturm and Ernst Koerner.
  • Biography from Jeschke Jádi

    Hermann Eschke was a student of Wilhelm Herbig at the Berlin Academy from 1841-1845. He then studied with William Krause until 1848 and went to Paris in 1849 to the studio of the painter Eugène Marine Lepoittevin. Here he studied the landscape of Normandy and Brittany and finally in 1850 the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. Five years later he established a studio in Berlin. Seascapes and coastal views were his favorite subjects.
