In 1869, he travels to France and Spain. Its compositions go back to a thorough study of Antiquity and Rebirth, they do not insert the naked ones in an action but must be included/understood like a study, a variation on the movement, the installation and the gesture. He admires Léonard de Vinci, Michel-Angel, but also Poussin and Bagnacavallo. He takes as a starting point the frescos of Luca Signorelli with Orvieto for three men in a painted landscape with Florence. A whole room is devoted to him to the Neue Pinakothek (New Art gallery) of Munich.
