Heinrich Stuhlmann

After serving a commercial apprenticeship, rather than go into business, he attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he worked in the studios of Christian David Gebauer.

In 1825, he returned to Munich and found a job with the Zeitung für Pferdeliebhaber (Newspaper for Horse Lovers), published by Major Johann Georg Wachenhusen [de], and made several trips to study horses.

During this time, he also did interior paintings and landscape studies, and accompanied a nobleman to Berlin to help him acquire art for his private gallery.

In 1830, he visited Dresden to study landscape painting with Johan Christian Clausen Dahl.

Following a photo shoot with fellow members of the Künstlerverein, in 1843, he developed an interest in daguerrotypes.
