The Oxford Dictionary of Art | 2004 | | Copyright

Rottmann, Carl (b Handschuhsheim, nr. Heidelberg, 11 Jan. 1797; d Munich, 7 July 1850). German painter. He travelled extensively in Italy, and is best known for a series of Italian landscapes commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria (see pinacotheca) and painted in fresco on the walls of the Hofgarten cloisters in Munich in 1830–4 (now in the Residenz, Munich). They are influenced by the heroic style of Koch. Ludwig's son Otto became King of Greece in 1832, and Rottmann spent most of the rest of his life working on a companion series of Greek landscapes (Neue Pin., Munich).

Otto Ludwig

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2011 | Copyright

Otto Ludwig , 1813–65, German writer. He was one of Germany's first modern realists; although his plots were melodramatic, he sketched accurate and detailed backgrounds. After Hebbel, he was the most notable national dramatist of the period. Among his plays is the tragedy Die Erbförster (1850, tr., The Forest Warden, 1912). Ludwig's best-remembered works, however, are two tales, Die Heiterthei (1853) and, especially, Zwischen Himmel und Erde (1856, tr. Between Heaven and Earth, 1911).
