Christian Friedrich Mali was a German painter of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries of Dutch origin. He is known as an animalist, landscape painter and genre painter of the Munich school.
Mali focused more on landscapes early in his career, favoring the landscapes of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Swabian Alps. After traveling to Italy, he pursued architectural painting. He later moved to Paris, where he became interested in animalistic painting, creating genre images depicting domestic animals.
Heinrich Johann von Zügel was a German painter of the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. He is known as a painter who specialized in depicting farm animals in dramatic and humorous situations.
Von Zügel invested more than 40 years in the subject of "Hard Labor," depicting mostly the work of oxen. By creating 24 versions of this subject, the artist demonstrated the evolution of his skill from realistic detailing to cubic and monumental interpretation. Von Zügel also created light impressionist paintings, including a self-portrait at the age of 77. In addition to animals, he also painted portraits and cityscapes.
