Heinrich Joachim Herterich (May/June 1772, Hamburg - 20 March 1852, Hamburg) was a German lithographer, painter and etcher.
He studied with his father, Johann Andreas Herterich (1725–1794), who was originally from Bayreuth. In 1804, he made a study trip to Paris. Initially, he worked as a portrait painter, in a style influenced by Claude Lorrain.
He learned lithography in 1817, from Johann Michael Mettenleiter , in Munich. The following year, he returned to Hamburg with a team of specialists, in a joint venture with Johannes Michael Speckter, to establish the first lithography firm in Northern Germany. The company proved to be very successful, although Herterich personally continued to prefer painting to lithography. In 1825, he helped to set up a "Lithographic Institute" in Berlin, modelled after the one in Munich.
He remained closely connected to the Speckter family until his death; serving as a teacher for his partner's sons, Erwin and Otto.
He was interred at the Ohlsdorf Cemetery, adjacent to the plot belonging to the Speckters.

Philipp Otto Runge was a German artist, draftsman, painter, and color theorist. Runge and Caspar David Friedrich are often regarded as the leading painters of the German Romantic movement. He is frequently compared with William Blake by art historians, although Runge's short ten-year career is not easy to equate to Blake's career. By all accounts he had a brilliant mind and was well versed in the literature and philosophy of his time. He was a prolific letter writer and maintained correspondences and friendships with contemporaries such as Carl Ludwig Heinrich Berger, Caspar David Friedrich, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, Henrik Steffens, and Ludwig Tieck. His paintings are often laden symbolism and allegories. For eight years he planned and refined his seminal project, Tageszeiten, four monumental paintings 50 square meters each, which in turn were only part of a larger collaborative Gesamtkunstwerk that was to include poetry, music, and architecture, but remained unrealized at the time of his death. With it he aspired to abandon the traditional iconography of Christianity in European art and find a new expression for spiritual values through symbolism in landscapes. One historian stated "In Runge's painting we are clearly dealing with the attempt to present contemporary philosophy in art." He wrote an influential volume on color theory in 1808, Sphere of Colors, that was published the same year he died.
