Adolph Kaiser

Adolph C. Kaiser , also Adolf Kaiser , (* 1804 in Geisa , Thuringia , † April 21, 1861 in Weimar ) was a German draftsman and landscape painter .

Life

Kaiser received his first painting lessons in Weimar. From 1825 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , but in 1826 Grand Duke Carl August sent him to Italy as a scholarship holder, where Kaiser was accepted as a student at the Milan Academy. Kaiser spent the winter of 1828/29 in Rome, where he was involved in founding the local art association.

After Kaiser returned to Weimar, he became a teacher in 1833 and a professor at the drawing institute there the following year. Despite this employment, Kaiser had to interrupt his classes more often and look for clients while traveling in order to improve his salary.
