Heinrich Adam

Heinrich Adam, a brother of Albrecht Adam, was born in Nördlingen in 1787. He studied painting in Augsburg and Munich, and distinguished himself as a painter of landscapes and as an engraver. In 1811 he stayed with Albrecht at Lake Como, and painted in watercolours. He also engraved six hunting-pieces, after his brother Albrecht, at Milan, in 1813.

Subsequently, he painted landscapes and views of towns, which are executed with great accuracy.Bryan His Das neue München mit den Bauten König Ludwigs I.
