A Romantic Forest Path

Heinrich Stuhlmann (28 December 1803, Hamburg - 23 October 1886, Hamburg) was a German painter, graphic artist and amateur photographer.

Life and work

He was born to Johann Daniel Stuhlmann, an insurance and coffee broker. Following Johann's untimely death in 1814, Heinrich was adopted by his uncle, Matthias Heinrich Stuhlmann (1774–1822), the Pastor of St. Catherine's Church, who helped him complete his education. As he developed a desire to become an artist, he took drawing lessons from Gerdt Hardorff. After serving a commercial apprenticeship, rather than go into business, he attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he worked in the studios of Christian David Gebauer.

In 1825, he returned to Munich and found a job with the Zeitung für Pferdeliebhaber (Newspaper for Horse Lovers), published by Major

Johan Christian Clausen Dahl
.

In 1832, he and fourteen other artists founded what would come to be known as the

daguerrotypes
. Later, from 1863 to 1868, he operated a photography studio.

His works may be seen at the

Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte, the Altonaer Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art
.
