Life
Closs was born at Stuttgart in 1840, and received his first instructions in the School of Arts there under Funk, but afterwards studied in Rome, Naples, Munich, Paris, and other places. He also made a number of student-tours, especially to the Chiem-See in Bavaria, on the borders of which he died in 1870 at Prien. He produced a number of Italian views, and also published Illustrations to Wieland's Oberon, a magnificent volume entitled Truth and Fiction, and Uhland and his Home at Tübingen, the plates in which show the influence of Doré.
