Life

His first major exhibition was the Dresden Art Exhibition of 1808. In 1811 he also showed his work “Faust and Gretchen” in Dresden, with which he began a series of Faust paintings. In 1817 Naecke went to Italy with a royal grant, where he found himself in the circle of the painter Friedrich Overbeck . Here he painted frescoes in the Villa Massimi, with depictions from Dante's Inferno. On behalf of the Naumburg canon Immanuel Christian Leberecht von Ampach , the painting Christ, appearing to the disciples for the last time, was created in 1824/25 , also Peace be with you for the Christ cycle in Naumburg Cathedral .
