Karl Ludwig FROMMEL (Birkenfeld 1789 - Ispringen 1863)

German painter and printmaker. In 1809 he went on a study trip to Paris, where Empress Josephine commissioned him to paint a series of 12 landscapes in watercolour. In 1813 he went to Rome on a scholarship, remaining there until 1817 and becoming, with Friedrich Gmelin (1760-1820), part of the Nazarene circle. He also visited Sicily, After his return to Karlsruhe he became Professor of Painting and Engraving at the Akademie in 1817. He executed numerous etchings (e.g. Ponto Lupo in Tivoli, 1815), engravings and paintings from his drawings and watercolours of the Italian landscape, and many of these were published in such folios as Arriccia (1820), Tivoli (1822), Etna (1824) and Vesuv (1832). In them he adopted a classical style of landscape somewhat influenced by the work of Johann Christian Reinhart. It published numerous collections of steel-engravings produced under Frommel's direction, including 30 Ansichten Griechenlands (1830), Carl Frommels pittoreskes Italien (1840) and Baden und seine Umgebungen (1843).
