Johann Moritz Rugendas in South America

 Salvete Omnes,

April is coming to its natural end in two days. The war in the Western Asia has not been concluded, more war in Africa ( Mali, Somalia), and the usual Ukraine invasion in Europe. 

ad rem, 

Johann Mortiz Rugendas, a Bavarian painter, came from the family of artists (painters  eg his great grandfather of famous Georg Philip Rugendas) from Augsburg (Kingdom of Bavaria). He studied with Albrecht Adam and Lorenzo Quaglio II.
He made several long trips to the Americas, departing for Europe in 1846 after more that a decade in the Americas. 

Native horsemen of the pampas,  their enemies the  gauchos, huasos, tropeiros, criollo horses, Mexican caballeros and many other equestrian subjects in Latin America.
