Jakob Grünenwald

In 1853, he moved to Munich, where he worked with Anton Braith, Albert Kappis and Carl Spitzweg, among others.

Grünenwald received numerous public contracts and, until 1881, participated in many exhibitions in Dresden, Berlin and the Munich Glaspalast.

As interest in his work began to wane, he received an appointment to the Stuttgart Academy, through the mediation of his former teacher, Neher.

Unfortunately, Grünenwald's work later fell into oblivion, although many of his paintings were widely distributed as steel engravings.

Today, his works may be found in the Municipal Museum at Göppingen, the Landesmuseum Württemberg and at his memorial in Bünzwangen.
