Hermann Baisch

Hermann Baisch (12 July 1846, Dresden – 18 June 1894, Karlsruhe) was a German painter and illustrator who specialized in landscapes and animals.

After completing an apprenticeship in his father's shop, he studied painting at the State Academy of Fine Arts.

After completing his studies there, he went to Munich and became a student at the private painting school operated by Adolf Lier.

He then relocated to Karlsruhe and, in 1881, became a professor of animal painting at the Grand-Ducal Baden Art School.

In order that his students could learn to paint from nature, he built an open-air studio; going so far as to buy a cow and some other small animals.
