August Wilhelm Leu (24 March 1818 – 20 July 1897) was a German landscape painter of the Romantic school. Most of his pictures are large-format and depict scenes in Norway and the Alps. BiographyLeu was born in Münster. He was a pupil of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, a landscape painter of the Düsseldorf school.[1][2] Leu travelled in Norway in 1843 and 1847, and later travelled widely in the Alps.[2] His Norwegian paintings raised awareness in Germany of that country's scenery.[1] He lived for a time in Brussels, then returned to Düsseldorf;[2] in 1855 he received an honourable mention at the Paris Exposition.[3] In 1882 he moved to Berlin,[2] where he became a royal professor and a member of the Academy of Art;[4] he was also a member of the Vienna, Amsterdam and Brussels Academies.[5][6] He received several gold medals in Berlin and was awarded the Belgian Order of Leopold.[5] His son, also named August Leu (1852–76) studied under him and was a landscape and animal painter.[1] Leu died in Seelisberg, Switzerland. {{Clear}}Selected works
