Karl Eduard Biermann

Life


Eduard Biermann came from a family of craftsmen. After an apprenticeship at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Berlin, he then studied decorative and landscape painting at the Berlin Academy under Johann Karl Jakob Gerst and Karl Wilhelm Gropius, among others. At first he worked as a porcelain and decorative painter, but then turned exclusively to landscape painting. He is considered one of the first representatives of landscape watercolor painting in Berlin. He was a member of the Berlin Masonic lodge "Zum Pilgrim".


The young trapper (1863)

In the late 1820s, study trips took him to the Rhine, Switzerland, Tyrol and Italy. The impressions he gained there were reflected in his works. From 1842 he taught landscape drawing at the Berlin Academy of Architecture and was appointed professor in 1844. One of his students was Hermann Gemmel. From 1847, Biermann was involved in the painting of the Egyptian Court and the Greek Hall in the Neues Museum in Berlin.


Karl Eduard Biermann died on June 16, 1892 at the age of 88 in Berlin and was buried in the Old St. Matthew's Cemetery in Schöneberg. The grave has not been preserved.
