Ludwig Sckell
Ludwig Sckell (born October 14, 1833 at Berg Castle on Lake Starnberg , † February 23, 1912 in Pasing , today in Munich ) was a German landscape painter of the late Romantic period .
family
He was not, as has often been claimed, the son of the famous garden designer Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell , who died in 1823, but the son of Carl Ludwig Sckell , who was court gardener at Berg Castle from 1832–1839, and thus a nephew of the garden architect Carl August Sckell .
Sckell studied with Richard Zimmermann in Munich and settled entirely in the city in 1861.
His son was the landscape painter and royal Bavarian head hunter Louis Sckell (* 1869 in Munich; † 1950).
