After attending art school in Nuremberg, the son of a baker \u003cbr\u003eadvanced to become a sought-after portraitist in Munich, and later \u003cbr\u003erefined his art with watercolor painting in Brussels and London. As \u003cbr\u003ecourt painter to the duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, he worked for \u003cbr\u003eBritain's Queen Victoria. His watercolors that portray the life of the \u003cbr\u003eroyal family in the Scottish Highlands are now part of the royal \u003cbr\u003ecollection. Always searching for new motifs, Haag traveled extensively \u003cbr\u003ethrough Europe. In 1859 he headed to the Orient, visiting Cairo, \u003cbr\u003eJerusalem, Damascus, Palmyra and Baalbek. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this first \u003cbr\u003ebiography about the painter, Walter Karbach conveys a vivid impression \u003cbr\u003eof society in the Victorian age, discussing Haag's artistic influences, \u003cbr\u003epersonal preferences, as well as his artist friends and patrons. At the \u003cbr\u003esame time, he elicits enthusiasm for Haag's landscape sketches, \u003cbr\u003eportraits and drawings of ruins, which oscillate between documentary \u003cbr\u003erepresentations and romantic or idealized scenic views. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dr. phil.
