Life
Gustav Ochs was the son of the Magdeburg room painter Peter Ludwig Ochs (1788–1869) and his wife Christiane Schaefer. The couple had eleven children, three of whom became artists. While his brothers Walther and Albert switched from painting, which they had learned from their father, to photography and maintained a joint photo studio, Gustav Ochs became an academic landscape painter. In 1850 he enrolled at the Düsseldorf Art Academy to study painting. There he attended the landscape class of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer . This certified the 25-year-old “talent”. According to the legacies of his short artistic career - paintings and sketches - Ochs traveled the Swiss Alps .
Ochs was a member of the Düsseldorf artist association Malkasten .
