Diemer, Michael Zeno
Michael Zeno Diemer (February 8, 1867 - February 28, 1939) was a German painter who produced a wide range of works, and was particularly known for his panoramic battle scenes. He was born in Munich and in 1884 enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts there, where he studied with Gabriel Hackl and Alexander von Liezen-Mayer. He gained acclaim early in his career for a huge panoramic painting of the 1809 Battles of Bergisel. Later, he moved towards watercolor paintings, many of which were reproduced as popular postcards.
