time and became a painter of skirmi shes and battles. In 1813–1815 he was allowed to join the See also:staff of See also:General See also:Wrede, who commanded the Bavarians in the military operations which led to the See also:abdication of See also:Napoleon; and there he gained novel experiences of See also:war and a See also:taste for extensive travel.

Louis sent Peter Hess to See also:Athens to gather materials for pictures of the war of liberation. The sketches which he then made were placed, See also:forty in number, in the Pinakothek, after being copied in See also:wax on a large See also:scale (and little to the edification of See also:German feeling) by Nilsen, in the See also:northern arcades of the Hofgarten at Munich. King Otho's entrance into See also:Nauplia was the subject of a large and crowded See also:canvas now in the Pinakothek, which Hess executed in See also:person. From these, and from battlepieces on a scale of See also:great See also:size in the Royal See also:Palace, as well as from military episodes executed for the czar See also:Nicholas, and the See also:battle of See also:Waterloo now in the Munich See also:Gallery, we gather that Hess was a See also:clever painter of horses. His conception of subject was lifelike, and his See also:drawing invariably correct, but his See also:style is not so congenial to See also:modern taste as that of the painters of See also:touch. He finished almost too carefully with thin See also:medium and pointed tools; and on that See also:account he lacked to a certain extent the boldness of See also:Horace See also:Vernet, to whom he was not unaptly compared. He died suddenly, full of honours, at Munich, in See also:April 1871. Several of his genre pictures, See also:horse hunts, and brigand scenes may be found in the gallery of Munich.
