Peter Schwingen was a German genre and portrait painter; associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule. He first became known for his atmospheric paintings depicting St. Martin's Eve. Soon, he soon received numerous orders from throughout the region; developing his own style of portraits, which included detailed interiors, inspired by Dutch Golden Age paintings. His portrait characterizations were also inspired by the works of Heinrich Christoph Kolbe. This combination produced an important record of bourgeois domestic life, in the decade leading up to the revolutions of 1848. His genre scenes are largely devoted to his native rural environment. His early themes were highly varied. Leading up to the revolutions, they took on a more political tone. In his later years, he focused on large formats, and earned a considerable income form their sales.
