Heinrich Werner received his art education at the academy in Berlin and then took painting lessons with Max Thedy (1858-1924) in Weimar. Until 1900, Werner lived alternately in Berlin and in the countryside, after which he settled in Frankfurt am Main. He also spent some time in Munich. His oeuvre shows a preference for intimate interior scenes, in which the play of incident sunlight often forms an important accent. In addition to genre scenes, Werner also painted landscapes, still lifes and architectural pieces.
