Carl Röchling

Carl Röchling (October 18, 1855 – May 6, 1920)[1] was a German painter and illustrator known for his representation of historical military themes.

While in Berlin, he was a pupil of the great master painter Anton von Werner, with whom he participated in the creation of various panoramic paintings such as Der Schlacht von Sedan ("The Battle of Sedan").

Later he became well known for his independent work of historical and military paintings in the turn of the 19th century.

Among Röchling's most famous works of military themes are various depictions of battle scenes of Prussian army victories, especially those during the Franco-Prussian War.

Together with Georg Koch and Eugen Bracht a panorama of the Battle of Chattanooga is among his works.
