Founded in the 19th century Museum Wiesbaden is especially committed to the art of this period. In the gallery of the 19th century the manifold artistic developments of this time and up to Art Nouveau are lined up like beads in a necklace: Portraits, genre painting, landscape depictions, animal motifs, historical painting by great names such as Max Klinger, Ludwig Knaus, Hans von Marées, Hans Markart, Moritz von Schwind, Carl Spitzweg, Hans Thoma or Heinrich Vogeler and more besides. These artists but also many others that can be discovered in this book demonstrate to us the unique creative skills of artists of this epoch.
