Gaspare Diziani was an Italian late Baroque and early Rococo painter, decorator, draftsman, and engraver.
He painted a series of canvases and murals for churches, and worked as a set designer for theaters and opera houses in Venice, Munich, and Dresden. His engravings illustrate the 1757 edition of The Divine Comedy.
Gaspare Diziani was one of the founders of the Venice Academy of Fine Arts.
Klára Herczeg, also known as Claire Weiss, was a Hungarian sculptor. She established the Klára Herczeg Prize, awarded annually by the Young Artists Foundation. Her works have been exhibited since 1925, including at the 1937 Paris World Exhibition and the 1939 New York World's Fair. Approximately 30 of her sculptures are housed in Budapest and other Hungarian museums, while her works are also displayed internationally, such as at the Albrecht-Dürer-Haus in Nuremberg.
Interestingly, Herczeg´s porcelain and ceramic figures created between 1930 and 1940 were never showcased or acknowledged in exhibitions, but they periodically appear in art auctions and antique markets. It is documented that she designed over 200 figures.
