George Edwards Hering

[1] In 1829 Hering studied in the art school at Munich, and Lord Erskine sent him with letters of introduction to Venice.

[1] Hering settled in London, where he practised as a landscape-painter for the rest of his life, paying occasional visits to Italy.

[1] John Paget published an account of his Hungarian tour with illustrations by Hering, and Hering on his return to England published in 1838 a companion volume of Sketches on the Danube, in Hungary, and Transilvania, etc.

In 1841 he exhibited a painting of Amalfi, which, through Samuel Rogers, was purchased by Albert, Prince Consort; it was engraved by Edward Goodall for The Art Journal in 1856, and a similar painting of Capri, also purchased for the royal collection, was engraved for the same journal by Robert Brandard.

In 1847 he published a set of twenty coloured lithographs, The Mountains and Lakes in Switzerland, the Tyrol, and Italy.
