A Life in Decorative and Monumental Art

Albert Maennchen was a German painter who specialized in decorative and monumental painting, as well as fresco painting. Born in Rudolstadt, Germany, he was the third of eight children; his brothers Adolf, Gustav, Albert, and Louis all became painters or master painters.
