August von Heyden's (1827–1897) life was exceptional in several ways. His first career as a geologist and mining engineer gave him inspirations for his second career as a painter.

普鲁士的地质学家，工程师和画家八·冯·海顿（Von Heyden，1827-1897年）：世纪90年代中期采矿世界的艺术编年史

奥古斯特·冯·海登（August von Heyden，1827-1897年）的生活在许多方面都很出色。他作为地质学家和采矿工程师的第一职业为他作为画家的第二职业提供了灵感。在某种程度上，他在自己周围的环境中（即在矿山之内和之外）发现了他的作品的主题，这使他成为了当时的矿业活动的编年史。这位普鲁士画家的作品在十九世纪后半叶，也被称为威廉时代被高度赞赏。如今，他的插图，绘画和壁画通常被视为晚期浪漫主义和现实主义艺术家的绘画作品，这些绘画作品基于他在画布上描绘的一些神话般的场景和“中世纪的荣耀”。他的画很少受到艺术史学家的关注，即使他可能被认为是二十世纪上半叶流行的几种不同风格的先驱。尽管如此，他的非凡能力却能捕捉到他日常生活中的瞬间。
