Johannes Dünz was a Swiss painter and representative of the Bernese Baroque.
Johannes Dünz studied in Bern under the painter Albrecht Kau (1616-1682). In the 1670s he was already painting portraits of noble townspeople and young representatives of the von Erlach and von Wattenville families in particular. He soon became the leading portraitist in these circles.
Dünz painted many portraits of Bernese patricians, leads and still lifes, as well as some remarkable group portraits. His work The Library Commission, in which both portraits and interior decoration are meticulously reproduced, is one of the most important group portraits of 17th-century Swiss painting. Johannes Dünz also possessed the skill to transform ordinary city vistas into spacious panoramic landscape paintings, paying particular attention to detail. And in his still lifes, he was sure to emphasize the four seasons, praising the labor of peasants and blessing the harvest.

Rudolf Koller was a Swiss painter. He is associated with a realist and classicist style, and also with the essentially romantic Düsseldorf school of painting. Koller's style is similar to that of the realist painters Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Considered Switzerland's finest animal painter, Koller is rated alongside George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur and Théodore Géricault. While his reputation was based on his paintings of animals, he was a sensitive and innovative artist whose well-composed works in the "plein air" tradition, including Swiss mountain landscapes, are just as finely executed.
He has been described as "the painter of the Swiss national animal", because of his paintings of cows in Swiss landscapes. He is considered, along with Frank Buchser and Gustave Eugène Castan, to be one of the most important Swiss painters of the 19th century. The Gotthardpost, or The St Gotthard Mailcoach, is one of his most famous paintings. It depicts a mail coach, drawn by white horses, speeding along a mountain road.
