Artist: Herman Henrey Wessel (American, 1878-1969)
Herman Henry Wessel was born in Indiana to immigrant farmers. He sold his inherited farmland in 1895 to move to Cincinnati to study art. After graduating, he studied briefly in Europe, where he met Frank Duveneck, whose teachings had a great and lasting influence on his work at the Cincinnati Art Academy. Wessel returned to Cincinnati in 1908, took a post as an instructor at the academy, and acted for a time as curator of painting at the Cincinnati Museum of Art. His murals grace the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland, the Scioto County Courthouse, and the Springfield, Ohio, Post Office.
