that trade, desired Carl to also become
glazier, aud absolutely refused to allow
him to prosecute his art studies. He
therefore worked with his father until
1858, when the family emigrated to
America, arriving at New Orleans in the
winter of that year and going at once to
Louisville
There his talent was discovered by
friend, the proprietor of a newspaper, who
noticed some of his excellent sketches of
Mississippi river scenery, and at once ad-
vised him to become a landscape painter.
He therefore made use of his earnings as
glazier and rs house and sign painter to
pursue studies for that purpose. Even
when employed at sign painting his artis-
tic workmanship attracted much atten-
tion. and many beautiful samples were
exhibited at the various Louisville expo
sitions, and at the International, at vi.
emma.
He was not long in attaining an
enviable prominence among American
artists, and his weird, romantic land
scapes, especially his beech forest scenes,
were for long while eagerly sought.
The widest spots were reproduced by
him upon canvas with realism that was
remarkable, and many of his works of
this character received the highest com
mendation of people whose opinions were
of great value. He gained comfortable
competency, of which he gave literally
toward charitable purposes, and lived
quietly in Louisville, the city Of his
adoption,
