victor müller (1830 - 1871)
Victor Müller was a German historical painter. He studied painting in Antwerp and Paris.
Victor Müller painted on subjects drawn from mythology, medieval legends and poetry, distinguished by his noble idealism and especially by his brilliant colouring.
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.
