Gustav Hausmann

Gustav Hausmann (23 July 1827, Göttingen - 13 April 1899, Hanover) was a German painter; primarily of mountain landscapes.

This enabled him to study landscape painting under Edmund Koken at the Polytechnischen Schule in Hannover.

Even after the family had fled to Austria, in 1866, when Hanover was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia, he continued to receive commissions from the princesses' mother, Queen Marie.

During those years he lived in seclusion, but continued to paint landscapes of the Bavarian Alps and Harz Mountains.

[2] His youngest daughter, Lisa, married Hermann Löns, a journalist and author known as the "Poet of the Heath".
