Düsseldorf school and Hudson River School

Life and work

Hermann Fuechsel was born in

Düsseldorf Academy[2] under Hans Heinrich Jürgen Brandes.[3] He was also a pupil of Karl Friedrich Lessig.[4] Upon his move to the United States in 1858, he opened a studio in Appleton's building on Broadway. From 1882 to 1915, he would work from the Tenth Street Studio Building in New York, the building used by many Hudson River school painters such as Sanford Robinson Gifford.[5] Fuechsel was originally trained as an engraver, which in some paintings shows in his narrow range of color and crisp draftsmanship.[6] He was a member of the Artist's Fund Society.[7]

His works are held in the collections of the

Adirondacks, and Kaaterskill Falls; but also the Rocky Mountains.[11]

Fuechsel died at the Isabella Heimath in New York City on September 30, 1915.[12]
