He studied foreign languages and the history of art at university in Göttingen, and later studied art and painting in Hamburg. From 1806 to 1821, he made a comprehensive study of Italian art. His major work was his three-volume Italienischen Forschungen (Italian Investigations) (1826–1831). He also wrote a book on culinary art, Der Geist der Kochkunst, a history of the Royal Danish collection of engravings, a four-volume novel (1832), stories, Novellen (1833–1835), and a satirical poem (1835).
