Georg Heinrich Busse (17 July 1810 – 26 February 1868), a landscape painter and engraver, was born at Bennenmühlen, near Hanover. He studied drawing under Giesewell, and then proceeded, with royal assistance, to Dresden, where he learnt engraving under Stolzel, and obtained the first prize for that art in 1834. For the next ten years he was studying from nature in Italy, influenced by the work of Nicolas Poussin, Claude, and Koch, visiting Greece, however, in 1843. On his return he was appointed engraver to the Hanoverian court and library, but pursued painting also from 1847. In 1858 he went on a tour of study through Paris to Algiers and Tunis, in the course of which he painted a large number of flowers. He died in Hanover in 1868.
