Ludwig Michael Schwanthaler, ennobled as Ritter von Schwanthaler, was a Bavarian sculptor and a key figure in the Classical movement in southern Germany. He was born on 26 August 1802 in Munich to a family that had been involved in sculpture for centuries.
Schwanthaler's journey began under his father's tutelage before he formally trained at the Munich Academy. His talent was so profound that he received commissions from royalty and mentorship from the likes of Peter von Cornelius. He further honed his skills in Rome, where he was influenced by Bertel Thorvaldsen. Returning to Munich, Schwanthaler met the demands for sculpture head-on, collaborating with architects and painters to revive the arts in Bavaria.
Among his many works, the statues in the Neues Palais and the figures in the Alte Pinakothek are notable. His versatility also shone in sacred art, with his contributions to St Ludwig and St Mariahilf churches. The Ruhmeshalle's metopes and the monumental Bavaria statue demonstrate his artistic bravery. Schwanthaler's life was dedicated to his craft, and upon his death on November 14, 1848, he bequeathed his models and studies to the Munich Academy, forming the Schwanthaler Museum.
For art enthusiasts, Schwanthaler's legacy offers a deep dive into classical sculpture's golden age. His works remain a testament to the neoclassical aesthetic and are celebrated for their historical and artistic significance.

Horst Gläsker is a German universal artist.
Gläsker studied first as a designer, then at the Düsseldorf Academy with Gerhard Richter and K. Götz.

His work is a symbiosis of music, dance, theater, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and architecture. This artist blurs the boundaries of art and works across media and disciplines.
Gläsker combines his installations with architecture, for example, like his works in public spaces in Frankfurt, Oberhausen and Erfurt. In another direction of his work, the artist combines various paintings with photography and creates photographic paintings. In this process he also collaborates with renowned photographers.
Horst Gläsker has worked as a professor at the Kunstakademie Münster, the Braunschweig University of the Arts and the Kassel Art College. Since 2006 Glesker lives in Düsseldorf and is a member of the Association of German Artists.
