Simon Meister

He possibly learned his father's trade and received his first private drawing lessons in his home town before going to Paris.

[1] After a scholarship from Frederick William III of Prussia expired, Meister returned to Koblenz in 1828, where he married.

A commercial enterprise was the panoramas painted together with his brother showing the passage of French troops across the Rhine in 1797, which was accessible in Cologne for an entrance fee.

From Franz Kellerhoven comes a lithograph after the self-portrait of the painter Simon Meister.

The writer Otto Brües [de] adapted Meister's life story in the novel Simon im Glück, published in 1949.
