Hildebrand and W. Schadow. Schwingen was a founding member of the association of Düsseldorf Artists. In a way unusual for the Düsseldorf iconography of the time, he gave his figures back a biedermeier-style inner space - a personal sphere - which aided the characterisation of the personalities. He also painted many conventional portraits, as well as genre compositions of town scenes and also later some paintings with sharp socially critical overtones.
