Jan Lievens was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, and engraver of the Golden Age and a member of the Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp.
It is known that while still very young, at the age of twelve, Lievens already created skillful paintings that amazed art lovers of Leiden. He was later friendly with Rembrandt, shared a studio with him, and painted in a similar style. Lievens was also a court painter in England and elsewhere.
Jan Leavens created genre scenes, landscapes, ceremonial portraits and sketches on various themes, as well as religious and allegorical images, which were already highly valued during his lifetime.
Friedel Anderson is a German landscape, architectural and object painter.
Friedel Anderson's artistic work encompasses a wide range of techniques and motifs, from landscapes painted against nature, city and harbour views to portraits and still lifes. The landscapes initially focused on the Nordic region. Later, regular journeys through Europe (Italy, France, England) and Africa expanded the themes of his travel and landscape paintings. Anderson found further focal points of his work in shipping, the industrial working world, as well as in the cultural and natural spaces around harbours, rivers and industrial ruins. Interiors and still lifes are also among Anderson's important motifs.
Hans am Ende was a German Impressionist painter.
In 1889 he co-founded the artists' colony in Worpswede with Fritz Overbeck, Otto Modersohn, and Heinrich Vogeler. In 1895 this group exhibited in the Kunsthalle Bremen and at the Glaspalast in Munich, which brought them national recognition. In 1900 the poet Rainer Maria Rilke travelled to Worpswede and befriended the artist's colony, eventually writing essays about each of its members.
