Carl Phillip WEBER
1850–1921, Germany/USA

Landscape painter Carl Philipp Weber was born in Darmstadt, Germany. His parents were the musician Carl Weber and his wife, Eleanore Weber. Carl Weber is believed to be the older brother of the Romantic landscape painter Paul Weber who worked in Philadelphia from 1849-1860. The strict, refined style which characterizes Carl Weber's landscapes can be attributed to his uncle, also named Paul Weber (1823-1916), who was the renowned German landscape painter under whom he studied in Darmstadt and Munich. Paul Weber was also the teacher of famous landscape artists Thomas Moran and Edward Lewis. Carl P.Weber continued his training under sculptor and muralist August von Kreling in Nuremberg. Although his artistic training occurred in Germany, Carl Philipp was raised primarily in the United States after he emigrated in 1853 to Germantown with his parents, musician Carl Weber and his wife Eleanore Bonnet Weber.... Carl Philipp Weber's paintings were exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1876-1891 and at the National Academy of Design in New York in 1880 and 1881. He was a member of the Philadelphia Artists Fund Society.
