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.


Oswald Achenbach was a German painter associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. Though little known today, during his lifetime he was counted among the most important landscape painters of Europe. Through his teaching activities, he influenced the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. His brother, Andreas Achenbach, who was twelve years older, was also among the most important German landscape painters of the 19th century. The two brothers were humorously called "the A and O of Landscapes" (a reference to their initials matching a common German reference to the Alpha and Omega).
