Heinrich Eduard Müller 1823 Poltava - 1853 Dresden From 1838 pupil at the Dresden academy of arts, probably already 1840 entry into Adrian Ludwig Richter's landscape studio. In the summer of 1842 he travels with his friend Heinrich Dreber to the Franconian Switzerland, study trip to Tyrol. In 1847 he travels with Robert Kummer to Dalmatia and Montenegro, in 1850 he travels with Robert Kummer to America, among others to New Jersey, Quebec and to Lake Michigan. Early death due to tuberculosis. In 1841 Richter acknowledged his pupil's "very respectable talent and commendable diligence" and preserved five drawings and one watercolour by Müller in his own collection. The Dresden art dealer Rudolf Axt (1880 Dresden-?) wrote of Müller "[he] was one of the finest lyricists among Richter's pupils, a fabulous fellow full of verve, in many ways ahead of the others, who painted many small wonderful landscapes, all very brisk, which is why the collector Prince Johann Georg held him in high esteem ..." (quoted after: Karl Josef Friedrich: Ludwig Richter und sein Schülerkreis. Leipzig, 1956. p. 43.).
