Joseph Wenglein

Joseph Wenglein (5 October 1845, Munich – 18 January 1919, Bad Tölz) was a German landscape painter and illustrator.

[1] He attended both the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and the Ludwig Maximilians University, where he studied law.

Eventually, he chose to focus entirely on art and found a position in the studios of the landscape painter Johann Gottfried Steffan.

On his recommendation, Wenglein became a student of Adolf Heinrich Lier, whose coloristic methods were a significant influence.

His favorite areas for painting were the Bavarian plateau and the region around the Isar River.
