'''Heinrich Caesar Berann''' (March 31, 1915 in [[Innsbruck]] - December 4, 1999 in [[Lans, Tyrol|Lans, Austria]]) was an Austrian painter and [[cartographer]]. He achieved world fame with his panoramic maps that combined modern cartography with classical painting. His work includes maps of [[Olympics]] sites, of mountainous regions published in the [[National Geographic Magazine]] and four panorama posters published by the [[U.S. National Park Service]]<ref name="Troyer"></ref>
==Early life==
Berann was born into a family of painters and sculptors from Innsbruck, in the Austrian Tyrol. Between 1930 and 1933, he studied painting at the Federal School of Art and Design in Innsbruck, but was unable to survive during the [[Great Depression]] solely as a painter.<ref name="Troyer"/> After graduating, he worked as a freelance artist and designer.
In 1934 he won the first prize in a competition to produce a panoramic map of [[Grossglockner High Alpine Road]], a newly opened mountain road, which led him to use his skills to paint landscapes for cartographic or tourist purposes.
He married Ludmilla Herold in 1941. The couple had two daughters, Elisabeth and Angela.
His military service in the German army, which sent him to Norway and northern Finland in 1942, also contributed to his artistic style.
==Painting career==
He painted over a hundred maps, including works produced for the Olympic Games in [[Cortina d'Ampezzo]] for the [[1956 Winter Olympics]] , Rome for the [[1960 Summer Olympics]] , Innsbruck in [[1964 Winter Olympics]] and [[1976 Winter Olympics]], and [[Sarajevo]] in [[1984 Winter Olympics]], and [[Nagano]] in [[1998 Winter Olympics]]. He also produces ski trail maps for European winter sports resorts, particularly in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and France.
In 1962 he painted Mount Everest for the [[National Geographic Society]].<ref name="Everest"></ref>
In 1977, he painted the topographic map of ocean floors by [[Marie Tharp]] and [[Bruce C. Heezen]].
Near the end of his career he painted four panoramas for the [[U.S. National Park Service]] of [[Yellowstone National Park]], [[North Cascades National Park]], [[Yosemite National Park]] and finally [[Denali National Park and Preserve]].
