Albert Becker (painter)
Ernst Albert Becker (born October 22, 1830 in Berlin ; † September 1, 1896 there ) was a German genre, animal and landscape painter.
Becker studied at the Royal Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin with August von Kloeber . After completing his studies, he worked for Kloeber until 1860. He then spent a year in Paris . From 1862 he again helped Kloeber with the creation of frescoes in the newly constructed building of the Berlin Stock Exchange.
Albert Becker often painted landscapes with grazing cows, which earned him the nickname "Kuh-Becker". Becker transformed "Kuh" into a "Q" and has since signed his paintings with "Q-Becker".
