Description: Louis Charles François de Graimberg (*1774 near Château-Thierry-1864 in Heidelberg) was a Romantic painter and draughtsman who also made a name for himself as a collector, museum founder and monument conservator. His studies of nature bear witness to an intensive engagement with the Romanticists' ideas of nature. The drawings show deciduous trees and studies of foliage. In many cases, the motifs of the drawings found their way into the large-format paintings in his adopted home of Heidelberg. | Watermark: Wappen(?)
