His father ran a small industrial plant and he received his primary education in Stuttgart. A childhood accident left him blind in one eye. He originally studied mechanical engineering at the University of Stuttgart, but he drew as a hobby and a cousin, who recognized his talent, suggested that he go to Munich to study at the private art school of Adolf Heinrich Lier. He studied landscape painting there from 1870 to 1873.
In 1895 he, Fritz von Uhde and Max Liebermann were chosen to represent Germany at the first Venice Biennale. In the mid 1900s, he was paid 10,000 Goldmarks by the government of Baden to paint scenes of the Laufenburger Stromschnellen [de], before they were destroyed to improve navigation and make room for power plant construction.
