Munich school

[2] Piloty's approach to history painting was influenced by the French academician Paul Delaroche, and by the painterly colorism of Rubens and the Venetians.

The last generation of students of the Munich school included nearly all the major figures of the German avantgarde, such as Lovis Corinth, Ernst Oppler, Vassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Franz Marc.

Due to the historical affinity between Bavaria and Greece—Prince Otto I was from 1832 to 1862 the first King of Greece—many Greek artists were trained in Munich.

[7] Frank Duveneck and William Merritt Chase were the most prominent exemplars of the Munich school in American art.

[8] Other American artists who studied in Munich include Harry Chase, Robert Koehler, John Henry Twachtman, and Walter Shirlaw.
