Carl Clemens Moritz Rungius (German/American, 1869 to 1959)
Carl Rungius was born in Berlin, Germany and attended the Berlin Art School, the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Applied Arts in Berlin. He made his first trip to America in 1894 and moved there permanently in 1897. He maintained a studio in New York for a number of years, but would stay away from home for weeks at a time, hunting and gathering subject matter for his artwork. His works are adventurous in color and subject, and his etchings are done in great detail.
