Oswald Achenbach ( German: [ˈɔsvalt ˈʔaxn̩bax]; 2 February 1827 – 1 February 1905) was a German painter associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. Though little known today, during his lifetime he was counted among the most important landscape painters of Europe. Through his teaching activities, he influenced the Kunstakademie ...

Oswald Achenbach was one of the leading German painters of his day and a prominent member, along with his brother Andreas, of the so-called “Düsseldorf school.” He traveled to Italy on eight separate occasions and his fondness for the peninsula grew with each one of his trips, the first in 1845 and the last in 1895.

His brother, Andreas Achenbach, who was twelve years older, was also among the most important German landscape painters of the 19th century. The two brothers were humorously called "the A and O of Landscapes" (a reference to their initials matching a common German reference to the Alpha and Omega). Oswald Achenbach was the fifth of ten children.

Hermann Ottomar Herzog was born in the city of Bremen, Germany, on November 16, 1832. By 1850 he had enrolled in the Düsseldorf Academy, where he received classroom instruction from J.W. Schirmer and Rudolph Wiegmann, and private lessons with Andreas Achenbach, C. F. Lessing, and the Norwegian artist, Hans Gude.
