- Johann Moritz Rugendas, was a German painter, famous for his works depicting landscapes and ethnographic subjects in several countries in the Americas, in the first half of the 19th century. Rugendas was born to the seventh generation of a family of noted painters and engravers of Augsburg (he was a grandson of Georg Philipp Rugendas, 1666-1742, a celebrated painter of battles), and studied drawing and engraving with his father, Johann Lorenz Rugendas II (1775-1826). From 1815 to 1817 he studied with Albrecht Adam (1786-1862), and later in the Academy de Arts of Munich, with Lorenzo Quaglio II (1793-1869). Inspired by the artistic work of Thomas Ender (1793-1875) and the travel accounts in the tropics by Austrian naturalists Johann Baptist von Spix (1781-1826) and Carl von Martius (1794-1868), Rugendas arrived in Brazil in 1821, where he was soon hired as an illustrator for Baron von Langsdorff's scientific expedition to Minas Gerais and São Paulo. Langsdorff was the consul-general of the Russian Empire in Brazil and had a farm in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro, where Rugendas went to live with other members of the expedition. In this capacity, Rugendas visited the Serra da Mantiqueira and the historical towns of Barbacena, São João del Rei, Mariana, Ouro Preto, Caeté, Sabará and Santa Luzia. Just before the fluvial phase of the expedition started (a fateful journey to the Amazon), he became alienated from von Langsdorff, left the expedition and was replaced by the artists Adrien Taunay and Hércules Florence. However, Rugendas remained on his own in Brazil until 1825, exploring and recording his many impressions of daily life in the provinces of Mato Grosso, Pernambuco, Bahia, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro. He produced mostly drawings and watercolors. Returning to Europe between 1825 and 1828, Rugendas lived successively in Paris, Augsburg and Munich, with the aim of learning new art techniques, such as oil painting. There, he published from 1827 to 1835, with the help of Victor Aimé Huber, his monumental book Voyage Pittoresque dans le Brésil (Picturesque Voyage to Brazil), with more than 100 illustrations, which became one of the most important documents about Brazil in the 19th century. He also studied in Italy, visiting Pisa, Florence, Rome, Naples, Venice and Sicily. Inspired again by a noted explorer and naturalist, Alexander Humboldt (1769-1859), whom he once met, Rugendas sought financial support for a much more ambitious project of recording pictorially the life and nature of Latin America; in his words "an endeavour to truly become the illustrator of life in the New World". In 1831 he travelled first to Haiti, and then to Mexico. He began to use oil painting there, with excellent results. Unfortunately, Rugendas was incarcerated and expelled from the country after he became involved in a failed coup against Mexico's president, Anastasio Bustamante, in 1834. From 1834 to 1844 he travelled to Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Bolivia, and finally went back to Rio de Janeiro, in 1845. Well-accepted and feted by the court of Emperor Dom Pedro II, he executed portraits of several members of the royal court and participated in an artistic exposition. In 1846, at 44 years of age, Rugendas departed to Europe, never to return to Latin America. King Maximilian II of Bavaria acquired most of his works in exchange for a life pension. His painting "Columbus taking Possession of the New World" (1855) is on view at the Neue Pinakothek, in Munich.

- Johann Moritz Rugendas, más conocido como Mauricio Rugendas fue un pintor y dibujante alemán, conocido por sus registros de paisajes y gentes de varios países latinoamericanos en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Hijo de Johann Lorenz Rugendas, director de la Academia de Artes de München, y de Regina Lachler. Realizó sus estudios en el Gimnasium de Santa Clara y en la Academia de Múnich, destacándose desde niño su aptitud por las artes. Sus maestros fueron su padre y los pintores Albrecht Adam y Lorenz von Quaglio. En 1821 se embarcó en la expedición científica del barón Grigori Ivanovitch Langsdorff, quien requería un dibujante que ilustrara la Naturaleza de Sudamérica. Rugendas fue el primero de varios pintores que buscaron la América desconocida y misteriosa para sus contemporáneos europeos. A partir de entonces estuvo en Brasil (1822-1825), Haití (1830), México (1831-1834), Chile (1834-1842) y Perú (1842-1845).
- Johann Moritz Rugendas, peintre allemand, descendant d'une famille d'artistes. Il dessina dès son jeune âge et étudia auprès de son père Johann Lorenz Rugendas, puis de Albrecht Adam à Munich. Il voyagea au Brésil de mars 1822 à août 1825, d'abord comme dessinateur de l'expédition Langsdorff, puis à son propre compte. Revenu en Europe, il publia Malerische Reise in Brasilien -- Voyage pittoresque au Brésil, un album de 100 planches lithographiques accompagné de texte chez Engelmann à Paris. En 1829 il voyagea en Italie où il perfectionna sa peinture. Appuyé par Alexander Humboldt, il prépara ensuite un voyage dans l'Amérique latine. Il voyagea de 1831 à 1847, d'abord au Mexique, puis surtout au Chili, avec des voyages au Pérou et en Argentine. Pendant tous ces voyages, il peignit des paysages, les notabilités des pays récemment indépendants, le peuple et ses coutumes. De retour en Europe, il vendit ses collections au roi de Bavière contre une pension et poursuivi sa carrière avant de mourir; mais on se souvient plus de son œuvre d'Amérique latine.
