"If Wenglein occupies such a prime position among German landscape painters today, this is surely owing to his great love for his homeland and his ability to depict it from ever new perspectives. Because love makes your ich!" (Quote from: Pecht, Friedrich: Josef Wenglein, in: Die Kunst für alle 12 (1893), pp. 177-179, here p. 177)
