CV and artistic development

nerly grew up with his uncle, a musician, after the death of his father in 1815. There he received drawing lessons from his aunt and later from Heinrich Joachim Herterich, who trained him in his lithograph workshop. In the years 1823 to 1828, Nerly was a student of Carl Friedrich von Rumohr, a decisive sponsor with whom he went on a formative journey through the Harz and to Italy. In Rome in 1828, Nerly changed his name to work Italian and played an important role in the artist community.

After his branch in Venice, Nerly dealt intensively with the painting of cityscapes and recognized the special lighting conditions that decisively shaped his visual language. One of his best -known work is the "Piazetta at Mondschein", which he painted in a variety of different perspectives. His marriage to Agathe Alginovich and the award with the knight's cross of the order of the Württemberg crown in 1852 underline its reach and influence in the art scene.
