August von Bayer, who was born at Rorschach in 1804, first studied architecture under Weinbrenner, at Karlsruhe. He visited Munich and Paris, and subsequently devoted himself to painting interiors of churches, chapels, cloisters, halls, &c., in which he produced very happy effects. In 1853 he was appointed conservator of the monuments and antiquities in the Grand Duchy of Baden, and died at Carlsruhe in 1873 (or 1875). Among his best works are:

The interior of the Frauenkirche at Munich.
A portion of the Cathedral at Chur.
The Convent of Maulbronn.
The Organ Player (lithographed hy Fr. Hohe).
An interior of a Cloister (lithographed by Ft. Hohe) .

There are four works by him in the Pinakothek at Munich.
