Italia und Germania is a renowned painting by the German artist Johann Friedrich Overbeck, created in 1828. Overbeck was a leading figure of the Nazarene movement, which sought to revive honesty and spirituality in Christian art. The painting is an allegorical representation of the friendship and cultural ties between Italy and Germany, depicted through two female figures symbolizing the respective nations.

The composition features the two women seated closely, with Italia on the left and Germania on the right. Italia is portrayed with dark hair and a laurel wreath, signifying Italy's rich artistic heritage and classical past. She is dressed in a flowing, classical robe, holding a drawing board, which emphasizes Italy's contributions to the arts. Germania, in contrast, has lighter hair and wears a crown of oak leaves, a symbol of strength and endurance. Her attire is more medieval, reflecting Germany's historical and cultural identity. She holds a sword, representing protection and valor.

The background of the painting is lush and idyllic, with elements that suggest both Italian and German landscapes, further emphasizing the unity and harmony between the two cultures. Overbeck's use of soft colors and gentle lines contributes to the serene and harmonious atmosphere of the work.

Italia und Germania is celebrated for its idealized portrayal of national friendship and its embodiment of the Nazarene movement's ideals. The painting is housed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. Overbeck's work remains a testament to the enduring cultural connections between Italy and Germany, reflecting a period of burgeoning nationalism and romanticism in 19th-century Europe.
