It was particularly strongly influenced by his travel impressions. The fragment of his surviving drawings already indicates that W. could have played an important role in the contemporary German art scene over a longer period of his life, on a par with Zingg and Klengel or even Caspar David Friedrich and Johann Christian Clausen Dahl."
