Albert von Keller was a German painter of Swiss ancestry, best known for his indoor scenes and portraits featuring female figures. Born on April 27, 1844, in Gais, Switzerland, he began his career by studying law at Ludwig Maximilian University, but his passion for art led him to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. His art journey took him through France and Italy, honing his style through various studio experiences.
Von Keller is recognized for his portraits depicting women in indoor environments, often shown in striking poses or engaging in activities. His later works took on supernatural, mystical, or religious themes. One of his notable achievements was co-founding the Munich Secession in 1892, where he served as vice president from 1904 to 1920.
Several of his works are housed in museums and galleries, such as "Irene von Keller with her son Balthasar" (1888), "The Pianist," and "Chopin" (1873). He also received the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Merit of the Bavarian Crown in 1878.

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.
