From 1851 to 1854 he was a student of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer at the Düsseldorf Academy . From 1855 to 1857 Overbeck went on a trip to Italy, where he is recorded in the annals of Antico Caffè Greco in Rome . The painting Landscape from the Sabbine Mountains came from this time . It is in the collection of the Museum Behnhaus Drägerhaus in Lübeck. At the end of the 1850s he settled in Düsseldorf as a landscape painter, lived in 1859, at the same time as the painter Carl von Häberlin , at Jägerhofstrasse 13 and belonged to the artists' association Malkasten .
