Andreae was a son of the Frankfurt merchant Johannes Andreae and his wife Maximiliane. His older brother was the engineer Abraham Andreae . After studying at the Städelsche Kunstinstitut with Jakob Becker , Philipp Veit and Edward Jakob von Steinle , Andreae went to Munich with Otto Donner von Richter in 1848. During this period he painted alongside historical paintings and genre paintings . In Munich, Andreae got to know the Nazarenes Carl Rahl and Bonaventura Genelli and was infected by their enthusiasm for Italy. In 1853/54 Andreae traveled to Rome and painted there.

After his return he met the landscape painter Eduard Schleich and found his calling as a landscape painter . Andreae almost exclusively painted landscapes by moonlight. Night pictures were taken in Rome, Naples and Venice . A trip to Helgoland (1871) enriched the choice of motifs as well as several stays in the Alps.

In 1872 the painter married the widowed Anna Bayer from Munich, daughter of the tenor Aloys Bayer . The following year he traveled to Italy, painted in Naples and planned a trip to India, but it never came back. On April 22nd, 1873 he put an end to his life.
