== Life == He was the eldest son of [[Johann Suibert Seibertz]] (1788–1871). He was only moderately successful in school and at age 17 he went to the [[Kunstakademie Düsseldorf]], where he was taught by [[Carl Friedrich Lessing]], [[Wilhelm von Schadow]], [[Peter von Cornelius]] and [[Theodor Hildebrandt]]. His first surviving independent work was a drawing of the Bruchhauser Steine.
He then moved to the [[Academy of Fine Arts, Munich]] in 1832. There he met [[Louis I of Bavaria]]'s court painter [[Wilhelm von Kaulbach]]. Whilst in Munich he produced 74 artworks, including two monumental frescoes in the [[Maximilianeum]]. He moved back to his birthplace in 1835, making sketches and illustrations for ''[[Faust (Goethe)|Faust]]'' before moving to [[Prague]] for seven years in 1841 then Munich for twenty years in 1850. He created a total of 300 works for [[Maximilian II of Bavaria]] and designed glass windows for [[Glasgow Cathedral]] (removed during World War Two and not yet reinstated). He finally moved to Arnsberg in 1870, producing 140 more paintings before his death, mainly of well-known families from [[Sauerland]].
