At the turn of the 16th century, art in Germany was still closely bound with the Church and its iconography. The wealth of Augsburg attracted artists seeking patrons and rapidly became a creative centre for famous painters, sculptors and musicians the most notable of which is Holbein. As a result Rococo architecture became so prevalent that it became known as “Augsburg style” throughout Germany.
