Georg Grimm
Johann Georg Grimm (1846-1887) was a German painter, designer and decorator who is best known for the work he produced during a lengthy stay in Brazil.
== Biography ==
He was the son of a successful carpenter and was initially trained to follow his father into the trade. When they were hired to do some work in the library at Rauhenzell Castle, he found himself fascinated by the art books and decided that he wanted to become a painter, so he worked his way across Bavaria, finally arriving in Munich in 1868, where he had accumulated just enough money to study at the Academy of Fine Arts under Karl von Piloty and Franz Adam.〔(Biography ) @ Arte Data by Maria Elizabete Santos Peixoto.〕 Despite living in abject poverty, he completed his studies successfully. He briefly served in the Franco-Prussian War, where he met the painter
Thomas Georg Driendl, who would later join him in Brazil〔 and work with him on several projects.
In 1872, he went on foot to Berlin, where a benefactor helped him to study fresco painting. He left Berlin later that year and headed for Italy; again aided by his mysterious benefactor, believed to be the wife of a prominent surgeon. After extensive travels through Italy, North Africa via Sicily, Spain, France and England, he finally found himself in Lisbon and decided to go to Brazil, probably arriving in late 1877 or early 1878.〔 He settled in Rio de Janeiro and soon teamed up with a fellow German immigrant who owned a painting and decorating company. His interest in landscapes began when he was hired by the owners of the nearby fazendas to paint topographical pictures of their properties, which he executed with photographic precision.
