Architectural landscape Biedermeier
Johann Philipp Eduard Gaertner was a German painter of the second quarter of the 19th century, the Biedermeier era. He is known as a landscape painter, famous for his views of Berlin and other cities.
Eduard Gaertner created many architectural landscapes of Berlin, as well as St. Petersburg and Moscow during his travels to Russia. The value of these works is that they documented the appearance of the cities on the eve of the age of photography. Gaertner's painting style underwent a change after the death of King Friedrich Wilhelm III, his patron. In keeping with the cultural attitudes of Prussia's new ruler, the artist began to paint more romantic and idealized landscapes in which architecture played a decorative role.
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.
