Carl Heinrich Hermann

Carl Heinrich Hermann (6 January 1802, Dresden - 30 April 1880, Berlin) was a German fresco-painter.

With Jakob Götzenberger and Ernst Förster he painted the frescoes in the hall of Bonn University - that of Theology is by Hermann.

Among his own compositions are the frescoes for Wolfram's "Parzival" in the Königsbau of Munich Residenz, the ceiling painting in the Protestant church showing the Ascension of Christ and a painting in the Hofgarten arcades showing emperor Ludwig of Bavaria's victory at Ampfing.

In the Franziskaner-Klosterkirche in Berlin, he painted 14 frescoes of the patriarchs, prophets, evangelists and the apostles Peter and Paul.

He later drew 15 large compositions showing the main moments in German history through the architectural forms prevalent in that era - these were reproduced in engravings.
