Michael Neher was a German painter and architectural decorator.
Michael studied at the Academy in Munich, in 1819 went to Italy and spent five years there, including two years in Rome, where he studied architectural painting in the studio of the artist Heinrich Maria von Hess, and in 1825 returned to Munich.
As a typical representative of the Biedermeier era, Neher produced many costume drawings and landscapes. He also became famous for his views of public places and architectural depictions of many Bavarian towns. From 1837, Michel Neher devoted himself entirely to architectural painting and traveled to improve his skills along the Rhine and to Belgium. In 1839 he painted several salons in Hohenschwangen Castle from designs by Schwind, Gasner and Schwanthaler. In 1876 he was made an honorary member of the Munich Academy.
Karl Hofer was a German expressionist painter. He was director of the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts.
One of the most prominent painters of expressionism, he never was a member of one of the expressionist painting groups, like "Die Brücke", but was influenced by their painters. His work was among those considered degenerate art by the Nazis, but after World War II he regained recognition as one of the leading German painters.
