Theodor Horschelt (later in Russia called Fedor Fedorovich Gorschelt or Gorscheld) was a very well-known German horse and battle artist and an outstanding orientalist. He was born in Munich in 1829, studied under M. Echter and at the Munich Academy under H. Anschuetz and especially under the German horse painter Albrecht Adam. In the late 1853 Horschelt made a long trip over Paris and Spain to Algeria, where he stayed until 1856. From this journey the artist brought many studies after nature, part of them shown in different German exhibitions of the following years. In 1858 an old dream came true and Horschelt travelled over Odessa, Sevastopol and Kerch to Tiflis, to witness personally the fights of the mountain peoples from the Caucasus rebelling against the Russian. He was accepted as a volunteer to the staff of General Baryatinski and took part in the Caucasian war on the side of the Russian troops fighting in the battles between 1858 and 1863 against the Caucasian folks. For some drawings Horschelt made during that time, he was elected Academician (Member) of the Russian Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in 1860. When the war was over he went to St. Petersburg in 1863, where he was awarded by Tsar and during the same year moved back to his native Munich, bringing many drawings, studies and sketches with him. The artist died in Munich in 1871.

Рисунки Горшельта и Кавказская война.
Тоже интересная фигура - художник из Мюнхена Theodor Horschelt (1829-1871), в России его звали Федор Федорович, приехал на войну и увидел самые важные эпизоды, что можно, нарисовал, сотни рисунков и несколько картин.
"В 1858 г. отправился на Кавказ, сопровождал экспедицию г. Вревского в Дагестан; в 1859 г. принимал участие в зимнем походе генер. Евдокимова в Чечню и в военных действиях против черкесов черноморского прибрежья; был свидетелем пленения Шамиля; посетил Баку, Эривань и др. места Армении и, проведя таким образом пять лет на Кавказе, возвратился в Мюнхен".
Дам еще несколько рисунков.
