context_page_description: Jakob Gauermann was a German landscape and genre painter and engraver born in Oeffingen, near Stuttgart.
  He at first worked as a stonemason at Hohenheim, but his strong inclination for drawing brought him to the knowledge of Charles Eugene, Duke of Württemberg, who enabled him to receive an education in art at the Karlsschule Stuttgart. After this he travelled for six years in Switzerland, but in 1798 he went to Vienna. After this he visited in succession the Tyrol and Styria, making sketches, which he worked up into water-colour drawings and oil pictures. He also executed several etchings of landscapes.
  Gauermann died in Vienna in 1843 and was buried in Hundsturmer Cemetery, though his grave has since been moved.
