Georg Heinrich Brandes was born at Bortfeld, in Brunswick, in 1803, and learned the rudiments of painting under the guidance of E. Barthels at Brunswick. From 1823 to 1825 he attended the Academy of Munich, where he first devoted himseK to historic painting under the tuition of Cornelius, but afterwards turned his attention to landscapes. On quitting the Academy he proceeded to the Tyrol. His pictures from the Bavarian mountains won him a reputation by their grandeur of disposition and efEective colouring. In 1830-31 he visited Italy, and passed much of the time in Rome. On his return he settled down in Brunswick, and became a teacher of painting and design as well as gallery inspector at the Ducal Museum. In 1845, together with Neumann, he restored the old mural paintings in Brunswick Cathedral. He died at that city in 1868. The following are among his most important works:

View near Rome.
Subiaco.
The Inundation.
Landscape in the Harz Mountains during a Thunderstorm.
View near Salzburg {in the New Pinakothek at Munich).
