Bernhard Mühlig was the father of Albert Ernst Mühlig (1862–1909) and brother of Meno Mühlig (1823–1873). The artist studied painting at the Dresden Academy. He exhibited his works at the Dresden art exhibitions since 1852. In 1853, Hermann Wilhelm von Witzleben commissioned the painter to capture the most beautiful motifs in small pictures during a hike through Bohemia. Through an estate donation by Julie von Witzleben, Dresden, 50 of these pictures came into the possession of the Zwickau painting collection around 1900. The brothers Bernhard and Meno Mühlig belonged to the Dresden circle of late romanticists.
