Edward Hildebrandt (1818-1869)

Edward Hildebrandt was born in Danzig in 1818, the artist was the brother of Trite Hildebrandt (1819 - 1855), the marine painter. In 1838, he studied with Wilhelm Krause in Berlin. In 1840 he began his travel with visits to Scandinavia, England and Scotland. He studied in Paris for two years, beginning in 1842, and in 1843 won a silver medal at the Paris Salon before traveling to Brazil. From 1860 - 1862 Hildebrandt went on a world tour, which included stops in the Middle East, India, Singapore, Siam (Thailand), Macao, Hong Kong, China, The Philippines, Japan and the United States. He worked mainly in watercolors. A folio of his works from his round-the-world voyage were published as chromolithographs in 1864 in Berlin. The original watercolors from the voyage were exhibited in London in 1866 and at an exhibition at Crystal Palace in 1868, just a year before his death in Berlin.

Edward Hildebrandt works can be found in the National Gallery, London; Berlin, Cologne, Rouen, Hong Kong.
