Louis (Julius Ludwig) Asher was born at Hamburg in 1804. He studied in his native town under Gerdt Hardorf and Leo Lehmann, and in 1821 went for farther instruction to Dresden, and thence to Düsseldorf, where he entered the atelier of Cornelius: there he made the acquaintance of Kaulbach, with whom he continued a friendship through life. In 1825 he accompanied his master to Munich, and was there employed by him on the frescoes of the Glyptothek. In 1827 he returned to Hamburg; he then, in 1832, went through Berlin to Italy, and remained there three years. On his return to Germany, with the exception of a second visit to Italy in 1839, in company with his friend Kaulbach, he resided at Munich and at Hamburg, where he died in 1878. Asher's works, which consist of historical pictures, genre paintings, and portraits, are found for the most part in Hamburg— both in public buildings and private collections. The following are some of the best examples of his art: Peasant Family. 1835.
