Ludwig Hartmann was a German animal painter.
Hartmann studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and was a member of the prestigious Munich School of Artists, which flourished during his lifetime, he was awarded medals in Vienna in 1869 and 1872.
The artist's greatest success came from his works with horses, painted in bold colors. But Hartmann specialized in depicting simple, working horses, most often at rest. In his soulful paintings, horses tired after hard work enjoy peace - in the stables or at a watering hole.
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.
