Albert Hertel

In addition to studying the masters, he became interested in landscape painting and took lessons from Heinrich Dreber.

In addition to his landscapes, which he usually painted "en plein air", he created still-lifes and some genre pieces.

He also did a few illustrations; for some tragedies by Sophocles, small dioramas of Bad Gastein, and a cycle of six Italian scenes.

In 1902, he presented draft designs for thirteen paintings in tempera, to adorn the Imperial Staircase at Berlin Cathedral.

There were nine square murals depicting the life of Jesus, and four oval ceiling panels on Biblical parables.
