Joseph Wenglein was a German painter who is often referred to as one of the last significant landscape painters of the 19th century Munich school.
Parallel to his law studies Joseph Wenglein studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. He then switched entirely to art and became a pupil of the landscape painter Johann Gottfried Steffan. On his recommendation, Wenglein sometime later became a pupil of the painter Adolf Heinrich Lier, whose colouristic tendencies, calculated to express profound moods, particularly appealed to him.
Josef Wenglein knew how to reproduce the change of daylight, especially in spring and autumn, with a fine sense of the slightest atmospheric fluctuations and to vary the grey pleasant tone of the Bavarian plateau in all its nuances masterfully.
Friedrich Otto Gebler was a German animal painter.
Gebler studied at the academies in Dresden and Munich and specialized in rural themes and animalistic painting. The main character in Goebler's paintings is sheep, the life of which he studied thoroughly. The sheep graze, rest, worry, there are even expressive portraits of sheep. Contemporary critics have recognized him as the best artist in this subject.
