Heinrich Hasselhorst

He began his studies in 1842 at the Städelschule, where his primary instructors were Jakob Becker and Moritz von Schwind.

In 1861, he accompanied the "Nordland Trip", a private expedition to Jan Mayen and Iceland, organized by the financier and landowner, Georg Berna [de].

During the trip, he created numerous landscapes and coastal scenes of both areas, which are now on display at the Historical Museum, Frankfurt.

One of his early students was the polar explorer, Julius von Payer, who would become known for his monumental depictions of his own adventures.
