HERING, George E.
The Mountains and Lakes of Switzerland, the Tyrol and Italy from drawings made during a tour through those countries..
George Hering (1805 1879), a landscape painter, was the younger son of the bookbinder, Charles Hering. Hering habitually painted Italian landscapes with bright, cloudless skies, often highly finished. In 1836 he first exhibited at the Royal Academy, sending The Ruins of the Palace of the Cæsars, Rome, and was a regular contributor thereafter to the academy and the British Institution, exhibiting landscapes of Rome, Naples, Genoa, Venice, La Spezia, Como, Piedmont, and Monte Rosa.
