Carl Eggers

From 1809 to 1812, he studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, with the history painter, Friedrich Matthäi.

He also made detailed examinations of older frescoes, in chemical and mechanical terms, and is credited with developing new techniques for creating them.

He worked together with Philipp Veit at the Museo Chiaramonti in Vatican City, where he painted a version of Roma, the personification of the City of Rome, for the Vatican coin collection.

After returning to Germany, he created a version of "Christ Washing the Feet of the Apostles" for Naumburg Cathedral, on behalf of Canon Ampach.

From 1847 to 1848, together with Wilhelm Schütze, he worked on frescoes designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the hall of the Altes Museum.
