Dreber was a pupil at the Dresden Academy, studying under Adrian
Ludwig Richter, among others. He made his home in Munich from 1841 -
1843, before moving to Italy in 1843. There, he formed a friendship
with Friedrich Preller (1804 – 1874), which resulted in a shift in
his own creative style. For his own part, he had a major influence
on Edmund Friedrich Kanoldt (1845 – 1904) and Arnold Böcklin (1827 -
1901). The drawing on display was completed before his time in
Italy. |
