Augustan Bridge at Narni (unfinished), 1829

Carl Blechen (July 29, 1798 – July 23, 1840), sometimes given as Karl Blechen, was a German painter who specialized in fantastic landscapes, sometimes with demons and grotesque figures. Later in his career, Blechen turned to depicting contemporary subjects with an increasingly naturalistic technique, sometimes painting directly in nature. With his Iron-rolling Mill (c. 1830) and Gorge near Amalfi (1831), Blechen became one of the first European painters to represent early industrialization in the landscape. Belonging to the generation of artists after Caspar David Friedrich and a forerunner to realists like the fellow Berliner Adolph Menzel, he is often cited as an artist "between Romanticism and Realism".

Erich Heckel (31 July 1883, Döbeln – 27 January 1970, Radolfzell) was a German painter and printmaker, and a founding member of the Die Brücke group ("The Bridge") which existed 1905-1913.  Heckel and other members of Die Brücke greatly admired the work of Edvard Munch, and aimed to make a "bridge" between traditional neo-romantic German painting and modern expressionist painting. The four founding members made much use of the print as a cheap and quick medium with which to produce affordable art. Primitive art was also an inspiration to the members of the Die Brücke. It was Heckel's brother who introduced the group to African sculpture, and it is noted that their acceptance of primitive art, which was to fortify decisively the expressive yearnings of European artists- Was unequivocal. It is through this style that they found a source of strength in the barbaric figures.

Emil Nolde (7 August 1867 – 13 April 1956) was a German painter and printmaker. He was one of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and is considered to be one of the great oil painting and watercolour painters of the 20th century. He is known for his vigorous brushwork and expressive choice of colors. Golden yellows and deep reds appear frequently in his work, giving a luminous quality to otherwise somber tones. His watercolors include vivid, brooding storm-scapes and brilliant florals. Nolde's intense preoccupation with the subject of flowers reflect his continuing interest in the art of Vincent Van Gogh.
