Karl Altmann

Karl Altmann (1800 - 1861) was active/lived in Germany.  Karl Altmann is known for Landscape and genre painting.

Karl Altmann was born in the Franconian town Feuchtwangen in 1802 and grew up in Ansbach.  As his talents in art began to show as early as in his childhood, his father desisted from his son's initially planned career in science and enabled him to attend a painters school in Munich, followed by three years at the Dresden Academy from 1819 to 1822.
