He then studied with Carl August Richter at the Dresden Art Academy until 1832 . From 1838 to 1842 he continued his studies at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Johann Wilhelm Schirmer .

Pulian worked in Düsseldorf until his death in 1875. He was a founding member of the Düsseldorfer Künstlerverein Malkasten , with which he exhibited jointly between 1848 and 1875.

He painted views of the landscapes on the Middle and Lower Rhine , the Belgian Netherlands , Upper Bavaria and the Salzburg region . As was customary for representatives of the Düsseldorf school , Pulian painted in plein-air , mostly oil sketches, on the basis of which he later supplemented the individual work in his studio.

Galleries

Pulian's works include a. owned by the Düsseldorf Art Museum , museums in Aachen, Bonn, Kiel, Mönchengladbach as well as in the National Gallery in Berlin and in the Kunsthaus Zürich . Probably the largest bundle of Pulian's works was kept by the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in Aachen until 1942 . Relocated to the Albrechtsburg Castle in Meißen from 1942 to protect against bombing attacks , they reached the Soviet Union via unknown routes after the Second World War and were previously thought to be lost. At least 30 works appeared in a looted art exhibition in the Simferopol Art Museum in 2008 and have been on view there ever since.
