Info, or links that point to more info, about this artist can be found here, here (archived if necessary), here, here, here, here, here, here, here (Google translated), and here, perhaps in addition to what’s in his Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more).
The Lexicon article in the last here link has the biography. Both German (click DE there) and French (click FR there) versions are provided. Currently, if you need translation, online translators will stop the translation at [more…]. You need to use a browser that translates automatically (e.g. Google Chrome) to translate what follows that. Click More works under the images to currently see 658 paintings by him.
This may have more info about him.
Archived if necessary.
Now, for the Lexicon article to be automatically translated by Google Chrome, Google Translate has to first be added to chrome://extensions, if it isn’t already. Then use that extension to translate the article.
