Hermann Johan Carmienke
  • Biography

    Born in Hamburg, Germany, Johann Carmiencke spent most of his career in Europe with the last sixteen years in America where his reputation remains as a romantic landscape painter of the Hudson River School. He was unlike most members of that school who were American born, and his paintings tend to be darker and more rustic.

    He studied art in Dresden, Copenhagen and Leipzig and then, having traveled in Sweden, Germany and Italy, became court painter to the King of Denmark from 1846 to 1851.

    He settled in Brooklyn, New York and exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Maryland Historical Society.
