Career
Living in the house of a relation whose name Franz he adopted, he frequented the Academy of his native city, and afterwards the studio of Ludwig Richter. He died in Anticoli di Campagna, near Rome, in 1875. His pictures, which were exhibited together in 1876 in the National Gallery at Berlin, are with few exceptions in the hands of private persons.
There are two in the Berlin Gallery — a "Landscape, with the Hunting of Diana," and "An Autumn Morning in the Sabine Mountains.".
