Carl Rottmann
Carl Rottmann was a German painter of the first half of the 19th century. He is known as a master of the landscape genre. He became famous for his watercolor and oil paintings as well as his mural paintings of nature in the spirit of Romanticism.
Carl Rottmann comes from a dynasty of Rottmann artists: his father was a painter, and his younger brother continued the dynasty. Rottmann was among the court painters of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, from whom he received commissions to create large-scale landscapes.
Rottmann's best masterpieces are now preserved in museums in Germany, the most extensive collection of his works being held at the Neue Pinakothek in Munich.
