Herman Herzog was born in Bremen, Germany in 1832. He studied at the Dusseldorf Academy from 1849 and traveled through Europe painting mountain landscapes, which were collected by nobility including Queen Victoria and the Grand Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. In 1869 Herzog emigrated to Philadelphia, where he painted the surrounding countryside before traveling west to California in 1874-75. He favored an area of the Delaware Water Gap called Dingman’s Ferry. Herzog lived until he was 100 years old and spent much of his life studying the effects of light and atmosphere on different landscape terrains.
