PETER HESS (179211871)afterwards von Hesswas born at Dusseldorf and accompanied his younger brother Heinrich Maria to Munich in 18o6. Being of an age to receive vivid impressions, he felt the stirring impulses of the time and became a painter of skirmi shes and battles. In 18131815 he was allowed to join the staff of General Wrede, who commanded the Bavarians in the military operations which led to the
abdication
  of
Napoleon
 ; and there he gained novel experiences of war and a
taste
  for extensive travel. In the course of years he successively visited Austria, Switzerland and Italy. On Prince Otho's election to the Greek throne King Louis sent Peter Hess to Athens to gather materials for pictures of the war of liberation. The sketches which he then made were placed,
forty
  in number, in the Pinakothek, after being copied in wax on a large scale (and little to the edification of German feeling) by Nilsen, in the northern arcades of the Hofgarten at Munich. King Otho's entrance into
Nauplia
  was the subject of a large and crowded canvas now in the Pinakothek, which Hess executed in person. From these, and from battlepieces on a scale of
great
  size in the Royal Palace, as well as from military episodes executed for the czar Nicholas, and the battle of Waterloo now in the Munich Gallery, we gather that Hess was a clever painter of horses. His conception of subject was lifelike, and his drawing invariably correct, but his style is not so congenial to modern
taste
  as that of the painters of
touch
 . He finished almost too carefully with thin medium and pointed tools; and on that account he lacked to a certain extent the boldness of
Horace
  Vernet, to whom he was not unaptly compared. He died suddenly, full of honours, at Munich, in April 1871. Several of his genre pictures, horse hunts, and brigand scenes may be found in the gallery of Munich.
