Eduard Leonhardi

Eduard Leonhardi (1828–1905) was a 19th-century German artist especially remembered for his paintings of forest interiors and wilderness in the Romantic style.

His father, August Leonhardi (1805–1865) moved to Dresden and became a wealthy ink manufacturer.

He worked briefly in Düsseldorf before returning to Dresden in 1859 and settling in the Loschwitz area where he remained for the rest of his life.

In 1879 he bought an old mill on Grundstrasse, a twisting and steeply climbing connection from the River Elbe to the high ridge above.
