Heinrich Adam
Heinrich Adam (1787 – 15 February 1862) was a German painter.
Life
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.[1]
Subsequently he painted landscapes and views of towns, which are executed with great accuracy.[1] His Das neue München mit den Bauten König Ludwigs I. (1839), a view in oils of the Max-Josephs-Platz, surrounded by 14 smaller pictures of new buildings in Munich, mounted together in one frame, is in the collection of the Munich Stadtmuseum.[2] A set of watercolours in a similar format is in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.[3]
He died in Munich in 1862.[1]
