in 1814 wagenbauer toured upper bavaria. at that time he was a member of the art academies of hanau, berlin and munich. max wagenbauer discovered numerous areas in bavaria. wagenbauer's works departed from the classic tradition. he developed his own methodology where he combined careful observation with detailed study of nature, which became the cornerstones of his depictions of landscape. his paintings extolled the beauty of the bavarian landscape, and inspired by adriaen van de velde and paulus potter, he produced a large number of animal studies. wagenbauer also focused significantly on painting animals, a genre in which the influences of such artists as adriaen van de velde and paulus potter were evident. the genius of wagenbauer was in the fact that even when inspired by other artists his own style was never overshadowed by theirs, thus resulting in a unique work.
