There is no information regarding Krazeisen's childhood. In 1812 he entered the Bavarian army and took part in the 1813/14 War of the Sixth Coalition. In 1826, having by then promoted to lieutenant, along with 11 other Bavarians he was sent to Greece, where the Greek War of Independence was going through a critical phase, after the troops of the Ottoman Sultan had received assistance from his vassal Muhammad Ali of Egypt. It was the first public action to support the Greek struggle, taken by another European state, as Bavarian King Ludwig I was an ardent philhellene.[2][3]
Krazeisen was not a professional artist, but having the ability to draw, he used his stay in Greece to create portraits of the heroes of the war, the sketches of camps, costumes, uniforms, battle plans.[5]
He returned to Munich in 1827,[6] published his Greek album, which from 1828 to 1831 was republished seven times.[4] His collection, made from life, represents the main pictorial archive of the personalities of the Greek War of Independence.
