The family even has a book in which pictures and drawings of the family members are recorded since 1800. So also those of Carl, who learned to paint and draw from his father as a child and teenager.
At the age of 21, Morgenstern moves from Frankfurt am Main to Munich, where he receives lessons from landscape painter Carl Rottmann. His deepest inspiration, however, should come from travelling, especially Italy, where he lives for three years for study purposes. He visits Rome, Pompeii, Naples, the Amalfi Coast and Sicily and remains fascinated by the blue tones of sea and sky. Short trips to Holland, France and Switzerland also find inspiration in his works. Contrary to the family tradition of painting old-fashioned in the style of the 18th century, Carl devoted himself to the romantic period. His romantic, light-filled landscapes earned him the name "Italianist", and he became known for his sketches and paintings of Italy. Because of his friendships with other German landscape painters such as Jakob Fürchtegott Dielmann, Richard Fresenius and Josefine Schalk, Morgenstern is often counted as a member of the Kronberg painters' colony, one of the earliest artist colonies in Germany. He returned home from Italy and remained predominantly there until his death. He devoted himself increasingly to the city and its surroundings. Among his most important works is "Blick auf Frankfurt am Main von Westen" (View of Frankfurt am Main from the West) from 1850, which was commissioned to him by the Senate. Motifs from the Rhine and the Taunus Mountains also appear frequently in his works. The reason for his return to more traditional styles and motifs could be the family tradition, but more likely he wanted to meet the taste of the time and make ends meet. His works were well received and he was awarded the title of professor in 1866. He also surpassed his ancestors in terms of sales figures.
Carl Morgenstern died at the age of 81 in his home town and was given a grave of honour in Frankfurt's main cemetery. Many of his works of art are now in private hands, the Frankfurt painting from 1850 belongs to the Bethmann banker family. He made a small copy of it at the request of the politician Eduard Souchay; today it can be found in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut. As the family tradition would have it, the painter dynasty continued and his son Friedrich Ernst also became a painter. Carl remains one of the most important Frankfurt (landscape) painters of the 19th century.
