A creative centre for famous painters
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.
