Hans Thoma was a German painter.
In spite of his studies under various masters, his art has little in common with modern ideas, and is formed partly by his early impressions of the simple idyllic life of his native district, partly by his sympathy with the early German masters, particularly with Albrecht Altdorfer and Lucas Cranach the Elder. In his love of the details of nature, in his precise drawing of outline, and in his predilection for local coloring, he has distinct affinities with the Pre-Raphaelites.
Joseph Wenglein was a German painter who is often referred to as one of the last significant landscape painters of the 19th century Munich school.
Parallel to his law studies Joseph Wenglein studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. He then switched entirely to art and became a pupil of the landscape painter Johann Gottfried Steffan. On his recommendation, Wenglein sometime later became a pupil of the painter Adolf Heinrich Lier, whose colouristic tendencies, calculated to express profound moods, particularly appealed to him.
Josef Wenglein knew how to reproduce the change of daylight, especially in spring and autumn, with a fine sense of the slightest atmospheric fluctuations and to vary the grey pleasant tone of the Bavarian plateau in all its nuances masterfully.
Eduard Schleich the Elder was a German painter. He is generally referred to as The Elder to distinguish him from his son Eduard, who was also a painter.

Lyonel Charles Adrian Feininger was an American-German artist renowned for his unique integration of Expressionism, Cubism, and Bauhaus principles. His body of work, which spans several critical decades in modernism's development, is celebrated for its distinctive blend of architectural and nautical motifs, articulated through planar shifts and jagged lines of Cubism, with a vibrant Orphist color palette.
Lyonel Feininger's journey as an artist began in earnest when he was 36, becoming a pivotal figure in various German expressionist groups and a founding member of the Bauhaus, where he led the printmaking workshop. His art, which also includes significant contributions to caricature and photography, explores the intricate relationship between humanity and industrialization, evident in his depictions of architectural and mechanized forms.
His work was subject to Nazi criticism, being labeled as "degenerate," which led to his return to the United States, where he continued to evolve his artistic style. Posthumously, Lyonel Feininger's art has been the focus of several retrospectives, and his pieces, like "Jesuits III," continue to fetch high figures at auctions, underscoring his lasting impact on the art world.
Notably, Lyonel Feininger's "Cathedral" woodcut, representing the Bauhaus's utopian vision, remains one of his most iconic works, symbolizing the integration of art and craftsmanship with its avant-garde yet traditional approach. His legacy is further carried by his sons, Andreas and T. Lux Feininger, who also made their marks in the arts.
For collectors and art and antiques experts, Feininger's work represents a fascinating intersection of various art movements and a testament to the enduring nature of expressive and innovative artistry.
