Life
Eighth, son of the Austrian military economist adjunct August eighth and his wife Antonie, née Lögel, received his first artistic training in the years 1833 to 1836 at the Städelsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt am Main . He then attended the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig , where he took art painting. In 1839 he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . In 1841/1842 he studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . On July 19, 1849, in Althaldensleben , he married Johanne Overbeck, the daughter of the landlord master and councilor Karl Ludwig Overbeck, who gave birth to their son Felix Karl August in 1850. The marriage was divorced in 1853.
Eighth worked in his hometown Graz for a long time. From 1853 commissioned portraits took him to various German cities. From 1866 he lived in Berlin. In 1867 he died of a lung disease in Meran, where he had gone for medical treatment and recovery.
As a result of his color blindness (color impairment when differentiating between red and green) eight turned to grisaille painting , which he carried out in chalk and oil.
