Anton Zwengauer (1810 - 1884)

Anton Zwengauer

Anton Zwengauer was a German painter of the mid-19th century. He is known as a landscape painter and is considered a representative of the Biedermeier artistic movement.

Zwengauer traveled extensively in the Alps early in his career, creating sketches and watercolors. His painting "Sunset at Dachauer Moos" brought him recognition, and "sunsets" became his characteristic subject, known as "Zwengauers". The artist sought to convey the inner strength and peace of nature, often depicting sunsets and creating impressive lighting effects through simple means.
