Life
He received his first artistic lessons as a flower painter at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Meißen . From 1822 he studied at the Art Academy in Dresden , where he was trained as a landscape painter by the Norwegian painter Johan Christian Clausen Dahl . He then spent many years as a drawing teacher at Lake Constance and in Rome. In 1828 he went to Switzerland to study nature. His main center of life was in Dresden.
Most of Sparmann's pictures deal with motifs from the Swiss and Tyrolean Alps, but he has also created numerous pictures based on motifs from the closer and wider area of Dresden.
