Joseph Wenglein
Joseph Wenglein (born October 5, 1845 in Munich , † January 18, 1919 in Bad Tölz ) was a German painter who is often referred to as one of the last important landscape painters of the 19th century Munich school .
Life
Parallel to his law studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University , Joseph Wenglein was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown. He then switched entirely to art and became a student in the studio of the landscape painter Johann Gottfried Steffan . With his recommendation, Wenglein became a pupil of the painter Adolf Heinrich Lier some time later , whose coloristic tendencies, calculated to express deep moods, particularly attracted him. During his studies he became a member of the AGV Munich in the special houses association .
Like Lier, Wenglein drew his motifs exclusively from the near and far surroundings of Munich, preferably from the Isar regions . He knew how to reproduce the changing daylight, especially in spring and autumn, with a fine feeling for the slightest movements in the atmosphere and to vary the gray lust tone of the Bavarian plateau with great virtuosity in all nuances. One of his students in Munich was the Swabian impressionist Otto Reiniger (1863–1909).
