Frans Floris de Vriendt the Elder was a Flemish painter and engraver of the 16th century.
The artistic style of Frans Floris was strongly influenced by the Italian Renaissance. He combined elements of Italian mannerism with his own interpretation, creating a distinctive style characterized by attention to detail, vivid colours and dynamic compositions.
Frans Floris was known for his large-scale historical and mythological paintings, which often depicted complex subjects and included many figures. His works demonstrated his ability to create dramatic and evocative scenes, exploring themes of religion, mythology and human emotion.
Johann Alexander Thiele was a German landscape painter and printmaker.
He was trained as a printmaker and received his initial training as a painter in Erfurt, but for the most part remained self-taught, copying old paintings.
Thiele painted mainly rural landscapes of Saxony and Thuringia, partly in imitation of the Italian vedettes. He also worked as a court painter and engraver.
Johann Alexander Thiele's son Johann Friedrich Alexander Thiele (1747-1803) also became a landscape painter, draftsman and printmaker.
Paul McCarthy is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
McCarthy's works include performance, sculpture, installation, film and "painting as action". His points of reference are rooted, on the one hand, in things typically American, such as Disneyland, B-Movies, Soap Operas and Comics – he is a critical analyst of the mass media and consumer-driven American society and its hypocrisy, double standards and repression. On the other hand, it is European avant-garde art that has had the most influence on his artistic form language. Such influences include the Lost Art Movement, Joseph Beuys, Sigmund Freud, Samuel Beckett, and the Viennese Actionism.
