Franz von Stuck (1863–1928), co-founder of the Munich Secession, made the city a center of modern art. His powerful and refined symbolist works reflect the aesthetic taste of the late 19th century.
Wilhelm Leibl (1844–1900) painted Bavarian rural life with realism and emotion, while Leo Putz and Ludwig Dill focused on representing light and color with impressionist sensitivity.
Finally, Thomas Theodor Heine, illustrator and painter, embodied the satirical and modern spirit of Jugendstil, the German version of Art Nouveau.
