Max Wilhelm Roman

Max Wilhelm Roman (30 April 1849, in Freiburg im Breisgau – 8 May 1910, in Karlsruhe) was a German landscape painter and lithographer.

In 1871, together with his teacher, Emil Lugo [de], he made a study trip to Italy and painted some of his first landscapes in Olevano Romano.

In 1873, he returned to Germany, settling in Karlsruhe where, from 1874 to 1883, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, under Hans Fredrik Gude, Eugen Bracht and Gustav Schönleber.

Together with his older brother, Victor, (1841–1916), a drawing teacher at the Bender’schen Lehranstalten [de] in Weinheim, he would often make excursions through the Black Forest.

She had given up teaching in 1907, citing the children's health, but Roman apparently had her declared mentally incapacitated when she filed for a divorce.
