German, 1803-1884 German painter, printmaker and illustrator. He ranks with Moritz von Schwind as the most important representative of late Romantic painting and printmaking in Germany. In contrast to the work of such leading masters of early Romanticism as Philipp Otto Runge and Caspar David Friedrich, which was ambitious in content and innovative in form, Richter's art was more modest in its aims, in line with the restrained intellectual climate of the Biedermeier period.   Related Paintings of Adrian Ludwig Richter :. | last Medici Grand Duke of Tuscany | Italienische Landschaft mit ruhenden Wandersleuten | Details of The Schreckenstein Crossing | Brautzug im Fruhling | Crossing the Elbe at Aussig |
