Born at [[Cassel]], he began his art education in [[1827]] in [[Düsseldorf]] under [[Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow]] at the [[Düsseldorf Academy of Painting]]. In his early work he followed the pseudo-idealism of the German romantic school, but on removing to [[Munich]] in [[1835]], the stronger influence of [[Louis Gurlitt]] turned his talent into new channels, and he became the founder of the German realistic school. Although his landscapes evince too much of his aim at picture-making and lack personal temperament, he is a master of technique, and is historically important as a reformer. A number of his finest works are to be found at the [[Berlin National Gallery]], the [[New Pinakothek]] in Munich, and the galleries at [[Dresden]], [[Darmstadt]], [[Cologne]], Düsseldorf, [[Leipzig]] and [[Hamburg]]. He died in Düsseldorf His brother, [[Oswald Achenbach]] (1827-1905), was also a painter. ==External links== *''[http://www.artrenewal.org/images/artists/a/Achenbach_Andreas/large/Achebach_Andreas_Fishing_Along_The_Shore.jpg Fishing Along the Shore]'' (1900) *''[http://www.artrenewal.org/images/artists/a/Achenbach_Andreas/large/Achenbach_Andreas_Hafeineinfahrt_Bei_Rauher_See.jpg Return To Harbour In Rough Seas]'' (1893) *''[http://www.artrenewal.org/images/artists/a/Achenbach_Andreas/large/Achebach_Andreas_Bringing_In_The_Catch.jpg Bring in the Catch]'' (1852) *''[http://www.artrenewal.org/images/artists/a/Achenbach_Andreas/large/Achenbach_Oswald_Don_Quixote_and_Sancho_Panza.jpg Don Quixote and Sancho Panza]'' (1850) {{1911}} [[Category:1815 births|Achenbach, Andreas]] [[Category:1910 deaths|Achenbach, Andreas]] [[Category:German painters|Achenbach, Andreas]]
