PRELLER, FRIEDRICH (18041878) , German landscape-painter, was born at Eisenach on the 25th of
April
  1804. After studying drawing at
Weimar
 , he went in 1821, on Goethe's advice, to Dresden, where in 1824 he was invited to accompany the grand duke of
Weimar
  to Belgium. He became a pupil in the
academy
  at Antwerp. From 1827 to 1831 he studied in Italy, and in 1831 received an appointment in the Weimar school of art. In 18341836 he executed in
tempera
  six pictures on subjects taken from the Odyssey in the " Roman
House
  " at
Leipzig
 , in 1.8361837 the landscapes with scenes from Oberon in the Wieland room in the grand-ducal palace at Weimar, and in 18361848 six frescoes on Thuringian subjects commissioned by the grand duchess. In 184o he visited Norway and produced a number of easel works, some of which are preserved at Weimar. In 1859 he revisited Italy, and on his return in 1861 he completed for the grand-ducal museum the frescoes illustrative of the Odyssey, which are held to constitute his
chief
  claim to fame.
Preller
 , who was also a successful etcher, died at Weimar on the 23rd of
April
  1878.
