Ludwig Gustav Voltz

Ludwig Gustav Voltz (28 April 1825, Augsburg - 26 December 1911, Munich) was a German landscape and animal painter.

His father was the painter and engraver, Johann Michael Voltz.

His older brother, Friedrich Voltz, was also an animal painter.

[1] At first, he was influenced by the battle and genre painter, Peter von Hess but, after studying with Adolf Heinrich Lier, decided to focus on landscapes.

Eventually, he incorporated animals into his landscapes; creating horse portraits for the princely families of Thurn und Taxis and Wallerstein.
