Andreas Müller (painter)

He was born in Kassel, in the Kingdom of Westphalia, the son and pupil of Franz Hubert Müller (director of the Darmstadt Gallery). He later studied in Munich under Schnorr and Cornelius, and in Düsseldorf under Sohn and Schadow. On his return from Italy, where he stayed in 1837-42, he executed some famous frescoes at Remagen and Sigmaringen. In these works he was assisted by his son Franz (b. 1843). From 1856 until 1882 Müller was professor at the Düsseldorf Academy. He was noted for his skill in restoring old or damaged pictures. He died in Düsseldorf.
