Joseph Firmenich (also spelt Josef Firmenich) (1821-1891) was a German painter. Firmenich was born in 1821 in Cologne and died in 1891 in Berlin.[1] According to art historian Gustav Ebe, Firmenich was an Autodidacticism who was a court painter in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and painted natural landscapes from Tyrol and other regions [1] Firmenich while visiting France, once entered into a wager (worth a few champagne bottles and witnesses by artists) that German painters could paint more accurately than French painters. Firmenich painted an oak tree within an hour and won the challenge.[2][3][4]
