Born in the Bavarian town of Waal in 1849, Herkomer moved to England with his parents whilst he was still a child, and it was there that he learnt to paint. Following a successful career as an artist, he later settled in the famous "Mutterturm" in Waal, which he converted into an eccentric studio. Today, the tower and the house next to it house the Herkomer museum.
