Kingdom of Bavaria Biedermeier
Lorenzo Quaglio was an Italian-born German painter of the first half of the 19th century. He is known as a painter, landscape painter, genre painter and lithographer of the German Biedermeier period, a member of the Quaglio dynasty of artists, brother of the famous architect-artist Domenico Quaglio.
Lorenzo Quaglio worked early in his career as a decorator for the court of the Bavarian Electorate and the national theater in Munich. He traveled frequently in the Bavarian and Tyrolean Alps, which inspired him to create. His works predominantly depicted scenes from the peasantry of Upper Bavaria. He also executed on stone copies of paintings from the Dresden Gallery. In 1812, he created his first lithograph with nature scenes, and from 1820 he studied Bavarian folk costume. Later he worked on the decoration of the Swan Knight Hall in Hohenschwangau Castle.
Anton Zwengauer was a German painter of the mid-19th century. He is known as a landscape painter and is considered a representative of the Biedermeier artistic movement.
Zwengauer traveled extensively in the Alps early in his career, creating sketches and watercolors. His painting "Sunset at Dachauer Moos" brought him recognition, and "sunsets" became his characteristic subject, known as "Zwengauers". The artist sought to convey the inner strength and peace of nature, often depicting sunsets and creating impressive lighting effects through simple means.
