Adalbert Waagen

Adalbert Waagen (30 March 1833, Munich – 15 April 1898, Berchtesgaden) was a German landscape painter.

The following year, he was commissioned by Prince Georg to create frescoes at the Villa Carlotta on Lake Como.

After completing them, he went back to Munich and established his own studio in the home of his friend, Carl Millner, who was also a landscape painter.

Despite his successes, he was almost brought to ruin from medical expenses, incurred in treating the after effects of a snake bite.

Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria awarded him the honorary title of Royal Professor in 1891.
