same time appointed director of the Düsseldorf Academy, he was allowed to divide the year between the two cities, in both of which he exercised an important influence. In 1822-1830 he executed the Iliad frescos in the Glyptothek, and then returned in 1830 to Rome, where he was again in 1834, 1843, 1845, and 1853-61. In 1841 he accepted a call to Berlin, and undertook a series of frescos for the Cemetery, whose preparation and partial execution occupied him for the next twenty years. The Cartoon of the Breaking of the Seventh Seal, one of the series, and the great altarpiece of the Last Judgment in the Ludwigs Kirche at Munich are perhaps his most remarkable works.
