''The centre of south German painting had by the late 1730s shifted from Munich to Augsburg in Swabia, where Johann Georg Bermüller became the director of the Academy in 1730; but his frescoes, as well as those of Franz Joseph Spiegler and Gottfried Bernhard Goetz, are perhaps more representative of the Late Baroque than the Rococo.'' <ref>[http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-62327/Johann-Georg-Bermuller Johann-Georg-Bermuller]</ref>

[[Caspar David Friedrich]] (1774 - 1840) member of the [[Romantic]] Movement changed in Germany the face of landscape paintings with his intense and emotional focus on nature. He is considered the most important German artist of his generation. Friedrich often painted mountains surrounded in a mist or haze, a favorite scene among romantic landscape artists. His art is allegorical with a careful attention to the details of an almost [[Neoclassical]] landscape technique. <ref> [http://www.artble.com/artists/caspar_david_friedrich Caspar David Friedrich.] </ref>
