 ROTTMANN Blanc, ficole allernande ; Kugler (Crowe), i. 272 ; Nagler, xiii. 468. ROTTMANN, KARL, born at Hand- schuchsheim, near Heidelberg, Jan. 11, 1797, died in Munich, July 6, 1850. Landscape paint- er, son of Fried- ricli Eottmann (died 1817), a quite skilful draughtsman and painter in water-colours ; first instruct- ed in Heidelberg by his father and the por- trait painter Xeller, much influenced by Karl Fohr, with whom he was intimately associated, but formed himself chiefly by studying from nature and after the works of Poussin and Josef Koch ; settled in Mu- nich in 1822, visited Italy in 1826-28 and Greece in 1834-35 ; became court painter in 1841. His artistic work may be divided into three periods : during the first he at- tached less importance to colouring than to drawing ; the second is illustrated by the 28 Italian landscapes in fresco in the ar- cades of the royal garden at Munich ; the third by the 23 Greek landscapes placed in a special room in the Munich Gallery. He was one of the most individual masters in Germany, and his influence on landscape painting was paramount.
