Paintings 19th Century — A540: Fine Art
Julius Lange is a German painter. Most of his paintings are landscapes, mainly of the mountains.
He studied painting at the Munich and later at the Dusseldorf Academy of Arts with Johann Wilhelm Schirmer.
Worked for a long time in Northern Italy, including Venice and Milan, receiving commissions from local academies and nobles. From 1868 he held the position of court painter in Munich and painted many works for King Maximilian II and his son King Ludwig II, as well as interior designs for the royal castles Herrenchiemsee and Linderhof.
Johann Jakob Frey was a Swiss landscape painter.
Johann Jakob Frey travelled extensively in Italy, especially in and around Rome, making landscape sketches. In his studio he used these sketches to create paintings. He also traveled to Spain and Egypt to sketch for later works.
Frey's pictorial style is based on paintings by Josef Koch or Franz Horny. For example, they often feature a richly detailed foreground, which often shows elements such as winding paths or rivers drawing the viewer's attention away.
Johann Bernhard Klombeck was a landscape painter who belonged to the so-called Klever Romanticism. Klombeck showed his first exhibitions in his hometown of Kleve and in Nijmegen. Between 1843 and 1856 his works were shown i.a. shown at major exhibitions in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Dresden and Berlin. He found his motifs in the landscape of the Lower Rhine and the neighboring Netherlands. They were mostly romantically transfigured motifs with gnarled oaks or castle ruins as eye-catchers. Dramatic cloud formations also became his stylistic features.
Charles Henri Joseph Leickert was a Belgian painter of Dutch landscapes. As a specialist in winter landscapes, he explored the nuances of the evening sky and the rosy-fingered dawn.
Willem Koekkoek was a Dutch painter of the urban landscape.
Following in the family tradition, his father gave all four brothers their first art lessons. Willem also received training as an architect, but practiced that profession for only a short time. It did, however, leave a lasting influence on his choice of subject matter.
