He was taken to the United States in early childhood; studied under Diez at the Royal Academy at Munich. He was first an illustrator, and became a distinguished draughtsman and painter of genre pictures. His mural decorations and mosaic panels for the Library of Congress in Washington are notable. He was elected in 1899 president of the National Academy of Design.
