Benno Rafael Adam (Munich 1812 - Ketheim 1892) has been described as 'the German Landseer' (see S. Mitchell, The Dictionary of British Equestrian Artists, Suffolk, 1985, p.67). Born into an artistic family, he was son of the horse painter Albrecht Friedrich Christopher Adam (1786-1862) and his brothers included the artists Franz Adam, Eugen Adam and Julius Adam. Benno's son, Emil Adam (1843-1924) was also an accomplished sporting artist; patronised across the continent, his English patrons included the Prince of Wales (Edward VII) and the Dukes of Westminster and Portland.
