Morgenstern began his artistic training at the workshop of Siegfried
Bendixen in Hamburg. He travelled to Norway in 1827 and then
continued his studies in Kopenhagen. After having moved to Munich in
1830 he became a close friend of the important landscape painter
Carl Rottmann (1797 – 1850). He often returned to shores of the
northern Atlantic coast, as they were the favorite motive of his
paintings. |
