Life

Brandes was born at Bortfeld, near Brunswick, on 23 May 1803, and learned the rudiments of painting under the guidance of F. Barthels at Brunswick. From 1823 to 1825 he attended the Academy of Munich, where he first devoted himself to historic painting under the tuition of Peter von Cornelius, but then turned his attention to landscapes.

On leaving the Academy he proceeded to the Tyrol. His pictures from the Bavarian mountains won him a reputation by their grandeur of disposition and effective colouring. In 1830-1 he visited Italy, and passed much of the time in Rome. On his return he settled down in Brunswick, and became a teacher of painting and design as well as gallery inspector at the Ducal Museum. In 1845, together with Neumann, he restored the murals in Brunswick Cathedral. He died at Brunswick on 6 October 1868.[1]

gollark: Wow. You are the most 1337 h4xx0r. You win all the points. Enjoy your sense of satisfaction at blatantly cheating.
gollark: The images are so low res and small that I cache them too, but yes.
gollark: - client/server would be harder to program- it would make the interface harder to program- it would not work in offline mode and there's an achievement for that- *most* of the data can only be gathered from the client so it requires trusting them anyway
gollark: I'm not worried about storage space. There are other problems.
gollark: Yes. I know since you have test.
