| Born in Kassel, Germany in 1883 into a long line of artists. Arthur studied art with his brother Charles and at the Kassel Academy. In 1846 the two brothers moved to Paris where they studied with Vernet and Delaroche. Caught up in the French Revolution, they decamped to NYC in 1849 and two years later sailed for California in search of gold. The brothers worked for a few months in the gold fields, but soon abandoned mining for an art studio in Sacramento. The great fire of 1852 burned most (showing 500 of 2582 characters). |
